Regarding the Nov. 8 article "Will entry checks cross the line?": Would 9/11 not have happened if all foreigners entering the United States had been fingerprinted? Is the list of 750,000 "terror suspects" compiled by the U.S. to be given credence? Does knowing someone who knows someone who may be a terrorist place one on the list?
I grew up in Japan when ¥1 notes were in circulation, and now my hair is white. Are my fingerprints and photo really going to stop the terrorists at the border? Never mind the probability that the terrorists aren't dummies.
