Im just curiouse what measures do they take at the airport now ..
I heard they take a scan of your index/thumb, and picture of you and your iris...
is that true ?

what can that do at all from preventing terriortist from coming in, obviously they
wont have a thumbprint of the terrorists ... then what is the use of that..

so do you know anyone that recently came in US with visa only, and how they like
about the new measures ? :beer:

fine, i'll answer. upon entering, they strip search and probe you, ultimately inserting a biodegradable tracking device into your anal cavity. people LOVE the new measures :)

Sometimes they will also insert the tracking device into your urethra...but don't worry, it's only about the size of a dime.

Unlike the last one which was the size of a grapefruit.

I just got back from an international trip tonight. At the airport, I saw a sign that said non-US-passport holders would be fingerprinted. There was other stuff on the sign, but I didn't really pay much attention to it because I'm a US citizen.

It's kind of silly anyways, as anyone that really wants to get into the US undetected could, very easily I imagine.

that's exactly wat im saying, what is the whole purpose of doing that, it is just lag up the whole process for visitor to come in
and i doubt US goverment even have the fingerprints or the eye record of a terrirotst ...

btw, they just scanned the left and right index finger right, I've heard story about they scanning your thumb, and some other extra measures of scanning all of the fingers..

I'll fly to Europe in 8 days, and come back after 10 days, so if you can wait till 23rd, I'll let you know of my observations.
