I work with a law enforcement agency and I do not take this drug, but I do not have fingerprints. They can get 2 or 3 partials with the laser fingerprint machines, but they don't get even that much with ink. It is a natural condition. I hope they don't do this to citizens of the US.

I always thought it would've been a good time to commit some crime. (Of course, I guess I could just wear gloves for the same effect.)

She had just finished treatment for breast cancer and her fingerprints didn't match up to homeland security records. She was detained for several hours, but was eventually allowed to proceed after one of the officers on duty said his wife had had the same thing happen to her This happened to Mother last year when we were flying in to Newark.

When it's reported all over the major news channels (like it has been the past week or so), one starts to wonder how such a near-inconsequential story gets picked up.

All people coming in should not be guilty til proven innocent. I feel like this is such a violation of rights.
