I personally favor fingerprint cataloguing but only if it is done across the board. In other words, I think every country should be cataloguing both visitors and their own citizens upon immigration. I don't really understand the arguments based on privacy. As far as I am concerned, providing a fingerprint as a form of identification makes more sense than say a passport number or social security number. Fingerprints are much harder to steal and fake than a number. While we are at it, how about throwing a retina scan as well.
