Homeland Security to scan fingerprints of travellers exiting the US

[Orwellian_Ghost]

The US Department of Homeland Security is set to kickstart a controversial new pilot to scan the fingerprints of travellers departing the United States.

From June, US Customs and Border Patrol will take a fingerprint scan of international travellers exiting the United States from Detroit, while the US Transport Security Administration will take fingerprint scans of international travellers exiting the United States from Atlanta.

Biometric technology such as fingerprint scans has been used by US Customs and Border Patrol for several years to gain a biometric record of non-US citizens entering the United States.

2. Of course. Travel equals probable cause.

It's just a sound prophylactic measure. Who knows what dangerous ideas or destabilizing news you'll bring back to the Homeland from the Forbidden Zone world beyond US borders.
