My father has this problem. The last time he went for a background check they tried time and time again with an electronic scanner but it just could not get a legible scan.

After far too many unsuccessful attempts they pulled out the old ink roller and fingerprint card and called it a day with the first crack at it. At least the authorities had this option, what will happen when/if electronically scanned fingerprints are set as a hard requirement?
