Hmmm... What a difference a couple of years and a terror plot make... • Airport biometric procedures to be extended after alleged terror plot • Six out of ten believe government is not exaggerating terrorism threat • Reid reaction to terror has seen his public profile soar as Blair's successor |

#7 Brer Just possible that by having the fingerprints of non-jihadis on file may enable the authorities to eliminate suspects. Thus the authorities can concentrate efforts elsewhaere. Works both ways. Known non-involved can be eliminated. Esteban |

#6 Enlightened Europe's "Dark Crystal" View of the "War on Terror" European Moslems, one of whom examines an unknown device... Bush & Blair Jacques Chirac (They proclaim he's a "good guy" but they admit he's ugly) |

#5 Come one, Big Jim, what the heck is wrong with you? Anything Americans do is stupid, backwards, reactionary, bigoted and bound to fail. Europeans, being enlightened individuals, only have the good of mankind at heart. |

#3 Wait just one goddamned minute! Arent these the very same people who jumped all over our case when the US wanted to go biometric with passports?!? Now that it is an EU initiative it's a good idea though? |

#2 Waste of effort and money. Fingerprinting babies and grandmothers aint gonna make the skys any safer. I'd start with profiling. Its a much more cost effective method of screening. |

#1 Call me nuts, but I think a DNA swab may also be useful too. Just in case, these Jihadi's decide to blow themselves up in the process. It will make it easier to identify them. |
