In that case, I stand corrected and I am sorry about that.

However, it does sound like it would be really easy for the US government to convince everybody that citizens should also have their finger prints scanned to confirm their identity.

In fact it is really really odd that they only scan foreigners to confirm their identity.

The US isn't the only country that does this. Japan does it too, at least.
