Here's the actual .gov regulation (APIS Final Rule) regarding APIS: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20051800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/05-6523.htm Here's a page on the cbp.gov website which links to the above regulation, to show that it's official despite being served by Akamai: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/inspections_carriers_facilities/apis/apis_final_rule_reqs.xml Nothing about biometrics or fingerprints appear there. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
