Well, it looks like I might have to get fingerprinted when I arrive for BF
PDX, and I don’t like that one bit! Not sure yet - they’re still debating
whether countries that have visa exemptions (incl Aus for stays less than 90
days) will also be exempt from such “security measures”. And Australia has
also decided to go the same way as the US and have a digital photo on a chip
in passports from October. I don’t see how thats any more secure than a paper
photo, but oh well.

I’m sure all this is doing wonders
for the American tourist industry!
