Yes. I don't like having to give my fingerprint data, which no doubt will be stolen from their databases especially now that they intend to unify them and allow all sorts of agencies to have access to it, just to be allowed to travel in what's supposed to be a an almost border-free region.

Not saying its right, but they have so many fingerprints of non-criminals. Anyone who has served in the US military has their biometrics and fingerprints on file. Jobs with children (teachers, daycare workers, church child care people) can and do require fingerprint-based background checks. Gun carry licensees in most states also require a fingerprint-based FBI background check as part of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System pre-screen.
