Fingerprints needed to enter US
By Sharon Mathieson
September 29, 2004

EVERY Australian who enters the United States from tomorrow will
have
their fingerprints scanned, a digital photograph taken and their
details stored and checked on American databases.

Australians will have no choice but to surrender their fingerprints
and submit to a photo if they want to enter the US.

The information will be available to American law enforcement
agencies
and government authorities.

The deputy director of the new visa waiver program, Robert Mocny,
said
it was designed to catch terrorists, drug traffickers and visa
overstayers while at the same time protecting people in the US.

He said from tomorrow every Australian who arrived in the US would
fill out a visa waiver form as normal but would also be asked to
submit their fingerprints with their passport when they passed
through
immigration checks.
