Yes. Remember you have to declare if you are leaving with 10,000 in cash to the Canadians.

That's one of the main uses of keeping the cards - to find EI cheats.

I don't need my fingerprints in some US database, waiting for a false-positive match to royally screw up my life.
They only scan your 2 index fingers. I always cover them up when committing a crime. Problem solved. And BTW if you leave your retina behind at the scene of a crime you have bigger problems then the FBI.
