The US adds even more countries to the fingerprint and registration list. link to story

Justice officials said the department added Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Eritrea, Lebanon, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen to its list for non-immigrant aliens to be fingerprinted prior to entering the United States as part of beefed up efforts to stop attacks on American soil.

But wait, there’s more…

They also said that males born on or before Dec. 2, 1986 were considered “highest risk” for attack although tighter security measures would not exclude females.

Well, I guess I shouldn’t complain. It’s not like I was planning to visit the states anytime soon, anyways.
