#1 Call me nuts, but I think a DNA swab may also be useful too. Just in case, these Jihadi's decide to blow themselves up in the process. It will make it easier to identify them.

#2 Waste of effort and money. Fingerprinting babies and grandmothers aint gonna make the skys any safer. I'd start with profiling. Its a much more cost effective method of screening.

#5 Come one, Big Jim, what the heck is wrong with you?

Anything Americans do is stupid, backwards, reactionary, bigoted and bound to fail.

Europeans, being enlightened individuals, only have the good of mankind at heart.

Just possible that by having the fingerprints of non-jihadis on file may enable the authorities to eliminate suspects. Thus the authorities can concentrate efforts elsewhaere.

Works both ways. Known non-involved can be eliminated.
