Foreign visitors to the US will now be fingerprinted and photographed upon arrival and, eventually, upon departure from the US. Congress has approved a budget of $330 BILLION MILLION (thanks artbrooks!) for this program for 2004, that's ONE year's budget!! Another action for so-called Homeland Security. Supposedly it will only add 20-50 SECONDS to each person's flight schedule.
Do any other countries do this? How do Mudcatters from elsewhere feel about this? Will it deter you from coming over to visit?
