fingerprints in the USA
My wife was fingerprinted coming into MIA last year and was pretty steamed. (Canadains are not supposed to be fingerprinted.)
She did ask an immigration inspector in Toronto a little while back and he said the finger prints were not kept on file but run at the time against data bases and compared to the passport info. He also did confirm that Canadians are not supposed to be fingerprinted. He said the fingerprints were not stored.
Not too sure I believe this. Canadian passports have no fingerprint info and computer comparisions of fingerprints is shaky. My wife thought the guy in MIA was new and seemed kind of lost.
