We don’t have to give up fingerprints for passports here in Canada. We went through the regular line with just passports last week going into the US and there were no fingerprint machines. GE is still optional.

I’m not saying I’m completely opposed to having my children’s fingerprints taken. As I said in my original post I’m on the fence. I’m just curious what people’s thoughts are.

I will agree with some of the other posters that anonymity is definitely on the way out and this is becoming more and more moot. Still I just can’t fully shake the idea that giving up fingerprints is my children’s decision.
