Most people don't have any prints on file at all. How many DMV agencies out there collect thumb print information?

Yeah, but I'll never forget the security at Tokyo Disneyland...to open up my bag, and they just looked in. I had my sweatshirt on top, covering everything. I could have had an arsenal underneath, but the person didn't ask me to move it, or wand me, or anything. Just waved me through. Granted, Japan is a safe country, but after that pathetic display of security I actually felt a bit less secure in the park.

In college some friends and I ended up at Pleasure Island one time. One of my friends went to get a drink at the bar. He was 21 and wearing an apporpriate wristband. The Mickey Mouse Police came over and demanded to see his ID. He showed them his real OH driver's license. They insisted it was fake and demanded a second form of ID. He showed them his private college ID, which also had his birthdate. They still didn't believe him. He asked why in the world anyone would bother with two forms of fake ID. The response? "We don't pretend to understand the minds of criminals."

Luckily he was able to talk some sense into them, and they didn't haul him off to the Happiest Prison on Earth[tm]. Meanwhile, while these crack detectives (er, Cast Members[tm]?) were trying to figure out why an evil Ohio kid was carrying two fakes, I watched a couple other 21yos in our group buy multiple drinks and proceed to pour them into the "soda" cups of their 19yo friends.

Hawaii's does.

California's does. http://www.lbl.gov/LBL-Work/HR/irss/dmv.html

A quick search shows there are other states out there as well.

The blue canaries... err.. WDW security are idiots. When I was 22, I entered PI at the Adventurers Club using my spanish passport and they tried denying me based on my birthplace of Boston, my non-Spanish sounding surname (I have a Catalan surname), and the fact that I speak perfect English... I pulled out my California license and made them run it. Once it passed, I demanded on getting a manager and I believe 2 cast members lost their jobs over it.

I'm a freakin regular at PI when I'm in MCO. I know their rules better than they do... don't mess with me.

At least one state that I know of requires applicants to the bar to submit fingerprints before being licensed to practice law.

Less safe than outside the park?

I had to laugh about the bag "searches" too -- Metropolitan Government Office Towers in Shinjuku: they just look into one compartment of your bag. It's just theatre... and unnecessary on top.


HTB.

Not only that, anyone who's ever worked for the Federal Government does, like yours truly. That's a lot of people.

I blame Kip Hawley.

And if there are real hurricanes this coming year, that's his fault too.

If they dont like the way you are winning, they take your pic and biometrically scan it through their computors databases to ensure you are not on their no play list. This list now covers most of the worlds Major Casinos, certainly a bigger infringement of privacy than the Disney 30 days Fingerprint store.

Also fingerprinted if you (a) apply for an FFL, (b) take a CCW license in most states, or (c) act as a boy scout leader in many states.

Also, anyone who's worked for a NASD broker-dealer has been printed - it's done every time you change jobs.

Almost everyone in the banking and securities industry has been fingerprinted.

I didn't know they do it when you change jobs-- that's a nice touch.

Every time you start a new gig - need to confirm that you're actually the person you say you are...
