Giving up fingerprints is a major issue imo though, these cannot easily be changed ever, if you lose your password, fine - then change it - but you cannot easily change your fingerprints. Unless it's completely mandatory, like entering the US on a flight, I see no reason to ever give away your fingerprint. Heck, I don't even understand why people accept to do this on iphones.
Ich habe noch nie USA Territorium betreten und werde auch in Zukunft gerne darauf verzichten (inkl. Fingerprints). Wenn die EU so weiter macht (
TTIP, usw), ist es sowieso nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die USA hier 28 neue Staaten annektiert.
I agree with your sentiment, but I wasn't that 'enlightened' when I got there, and besides I guess that my family would've become very sad if I recjected. I envy much of the privacy stance germans have. But once you get on US soil, if you start rejecting to give fingerprints, I can only imagine what would happen..
