#2 I will enjoy images of them doing fingerprints of women in burkas. That was a cause for rioting when US troops attempted it in war zones as it's "dissing a Muslim woman to touch an infidel".

Applicants for US visas are fingerprinted, so this isn't some kind of novel requirement. That China is doing it is a little absurd and perhaps sinister, given that it's not as if visa overstays are a big problem there.

#6 A fingerprint database could be pretty handy if you wanted to get past biometric locks on phones or tablets.

From now on, if you travel to China, you're better off using an alphanumeric password.
