Your not making any headway here man. We were talking about Brazil
fingerprinting Americans in response to our finger printing those that enter
our country and require a visa, not everyone that enters, just those that
require a visa.
I was stating that I thought it was foolish politics because Americans do
not travel abroad privately to commit acts of terror, and that is what the
finger printing is supposed to help track. I don't know if it will help or
not, but that's what it's suppose to help with.
You keep fighting this Americans are capable of the same thing fight. I
don't think anyone here disagrees that we are CAPABLE. I am saying that we
don't. Again this is an idea that is in place to supposedly assist in
mitigating risk. This is something I know a little bit about. If I were
doing a risk assessment fingerprinting Americans coming into my country
would be a simple waste of time and money. The risk of an American Citizen
coming into Brazil in order to conduct an attack is so low that it wouldn't
even register on my scale. Smuggling, tax evasion, and illegal immigration
would be of a much higher concern to me at these point of entry.

They were Sikh, but they were supported and planned the bombing in
Vancouver.
The fact that they were from India is irrelevant. I could have mentioned
the FLQ, various anti-abortion groups, or sundry neo-nazi and other right
wing groups.
