Starting October 12th of this year, the ruling takes affect. I never desired to visit Europe, so it won't affect me. Read on:

I'm so lucky to have seen Europe in the 60's and 70's.

Hopefully a lot of Europeans got to see America during that same time period, before things became tragically stupid...

It looks like the United States has required something similar for several years.

Why is it a problem? Malaysia takes a copy of your thumb when you enter the country. So what?

What are you doing that makes giving your fingerprint a problem?


Doesn't your passport have a photo of your face? Why isn't that a problem?

Who are you addressing? I haven't traveled to or from anywhere that this was a requirement therefore didn't know that it ever was, ergo the post and the question that simply asked your thoughts?

My first thought is this is one more way someone can use our ID for nefarious purposes. This has become such a big deal over the last couple decades. I don't like it. At all.

I can understand you thinking that the way things are these days.

My thought is that it wouldn't bother me.

@Aunt Bea

I gave my thoughts on the question. Surely that's not a problem?

Given what I've seen in the news over the past few years, it seems to me that Americans should be the least of Europe's concerns.

My thought is what's next? A urine sample?
