The point of Yaatri's comment was that BICE/CBP checks of this sort do little to nothing for aviation security. Fingerprint data use as a law enforcement and intelligence tool? More utility for those purposes than for aviation security. Then again, this is just another attempt at casting a wide net and will be little more than a fishing expedition. And I have no blind faith that non-terrorist Americans will always be exempted from these procedures to control the movements of persons.
