The proposed fingerprint tacking scheme won't do anyhitng except help

But it's a great way to find out if some particular guys came into the
country on a given day, without tipping them off that you're looking
specifically for them.

Considering how many of the 9/11 assholes traveled back and forth
between Europe and the US in the years before the attacks happened,
that's an easy one.
