Too true. Like the cell that was found in Buffalo, NY, or the one that
wasn't found that did so much damage in 2001 (several of whom lived
near me in Maryland).

Any western nation can unknowingly harbour such cells. If you believe
the US is immune you really need to get out more.

The proposed fingerprint tacking scheme won't do anyhitng except help
*after* the next attack, unless you seriously believe that all the
prints are being checked at the desk (trust me, they won't be - the
data set is far too large), and that the prints required are even on
file.
