So, um, do ordinary American citizens get all their fingers scanned too when they take a domestic flight? You know, like the flights the 9/11 terrorists hijacked?

I found the two-fingerprint system unreliable, time-consuming, and intrusive last time I visited the US, and I wouldn't be keen to repeat even that. There's a lot I like about the US, but there seems to be an increasingly pervasive feeling of paranoia each time I go.

As far as I'm concerned, this plan gets them exactly one finger from me.

No, US citizens don't have fingerprints taken for domestic flights (nor, in fairness, do people from the UK using domestic flights - its only entering and exiting the country when they do that, at the moment).

Its more than a year since I've been to the US, and the fingerprint and picture system seemed to work fairly well then. It might be different at different airports. I've been through LAX and Vancouver on this system. It may be worse elsewhere...

US citizens don't have their fingers scanned at all when entering or leaving the US, or when travelling within it. Only people from other countries.
