How does fingerprinting keep people safer?Isn't the point of fingerprinting an attempt to keep people safer.
What am I missing?
The fingerprint plan will affect all domestic passengers using Terminal 5 as well as international travellers who are transferring to an internal flight. It will enable domestic and international passengers to mingle in the shops, restaurants, cafés and bars of the terminal’s departure lounge.
The bit about it not making people safer?I don't understand why people would be bothered? Isn't the point of fingerprinting an attempt to keep people safer.

Would'nt bother me either. It said on some American programme other night about some scanner that when you pass through it the people operating it can actually see you as though you were not wearing any clothes on. What would you think of that?
And we are paying for it with Identity Theft. Add in getting your fingerprints stolen and see how easy it is to change them!We have gone so far with storage of identity & personal information that at this point I don't see fingerprinting much of a further intrusion on what's there.
I'm wondering what people's feeling are about fingerprinting at airports? .

I'm wondering what people's feeling are about fingerprinting at airports? I recently read a newspaper article that stated that the UK were going to introduce fingerprinting at its airports. As far as I'm aware the USA already do this (and I refuse to travel there because of it).quote]
I'm curious, why won't you travel.
Incidentally when I travelled last year, they only scanned one finger,

Fingerprinting deters terrorism? Do you think terrorists arrive through airports and ports? All these security measures are simply means of control over the majority of sheep who will follow any plan no matter how ill conceived until they realise, all too late, that they no longer live in a free state. It is a means of getting the sheep to live in fear so they are more pliable. It is a means of keeping the sheep asleep, of distracting them with nonsense, so they miss all that is really going on around them. It's like slowly boiling a frog.If it serves as a further deterrent against acts of terrorism etc then how can anybody have a problem with it? Sorry, anybody except the potential terrorist of course!

Fingerprinting is only the beginning.

It seems that people don't seem to be too bothered. Maybe ten or twenty years ago there would have been uproar and protests.
Incidentally, fingerprints are surprisingly easy to forge.
Yes, I do. My fingerprints, DNA, bank details, nudity, innermost thoughts etc, etc... I suppose you have no problems divulging all of this to (anonymous) others?Sounds like you have something to hide....

It's good to see that I am not alone in my feelings.
