I was fingerprinted or might have had just a check when I entered the US when I was not yet a Canadian citizen, after I became a citizen this never needed to be done.

I'm just sick and tired of all this shit. Once upon a time it used to be that you had to be a criminal, and I mean actually convicted of something, to have those things entered anywhere, now they're just doing it to everyone.

The difference is what the US is increasingly doing with their surveillance data.

Obviously increased surveillance of the public is a privacy nightmare no matter who is doing it, but when it's being done by a country that is speedrunning fascism and is disappearing people with no due process, it's a much more acutely worrying probelm.

Yeah as a UK citizen I have been photographed and fingerprinted in the USA for like 10 years...its nothing new really.

I'm surprised about NZ given how much our government has cut services on border control.
