I have also given my handprint (and presumably my fingerprints as well) at the airport for the speedy passport control gate. I don't really see what the fuss is about. I am who I am and I have nothing to hide. Neither should my kids. <BR/>I don't even post anonymously, I hope I never never have to be afraid to say what I think or do what I believe needs to be done. I will have to take full credit or responsibility for those actions.Risa Tzoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012097234847651866noreply@blogger.com
