And just how will the usa verify your fingerprints ?


By comparing them to known terrorists. Pretty simple, really. They can
fake IDs (or get them issued "officially" from many countries), but it's
a bit harder to fake fingerprints.

If you're a foreigner who has never been to the USA, your
fingerprints will be "virgin".


Not so. We have a lot of records of known bad guys from other sources.
