While finger-printing in the US is clean, automatic and the mug-shots are efficiently carried out, when Brazil retaliates, the poor traveler is forced to black-ink finger-printing and Polaroid mugshot. Some even have been forced to wait for between 4 to 7 hours. I can recall having my baby daughter couple of weeks old being finger-printed and photographed in Indonesia!!! Most of state control have three basic meanings: 1) Provide pseudo-jobs 2) Provide psychological sense of 'security'. 3) Extract monety through creating a gate to sell the keys. Obviously someone going to the US has been throughly controlled at the country where he got the visa. If he got the visa, why he needs control once again? The guy already produced a photo. Gave proof of identity. A simple scaning and a databasze to be accessed at the prot of entry would garantee that the traveller didn't tamper with its visa stamp. US goals are 1) and 2). I hardly travel for pleasure to a country that requires a visa. Czech Republic is a exception since they were forced by the3 EU and the visa is mere formality. Don't expect me travelling to the US -I have a ten year B1/B2 stamp- unless the non-sense stops.
