To improve national security, last week the U.S. began fingerprinting and photographing foreigners arriving at air- and seaports. What do you think?

"What? They have fingerprints? Those bastards become more like humans every day."
Paula Holt,

"They're taking photos? That's useless. Everyone looks like a terrorist in an ID photo."
Shirley Crawford,

"I've always thought that people should have to jump through more hoops for the privilege of visiting a glorious bastion of freedom and liberty like America."
Edgar Little,

"This information will come in handy if we ever need to determine exactly who touched the counter at the St. Louis Arch gift shop."
Alex Mason,
Dishwasher
"Why the hubbub? It's not like we're extracting delicious DNA samples from them. Did I say delicious? I meant invasive."
Ronald Ramirez,
Guard
"They do the photography and fingerprinting at no charge? America truly is the land of opportunity!"
