Everyone who enters the US has to get their fingerprints scanned (even tourists), it has been that way for many many years.



Since 9/11.


This is not completely accurate. At the very least, Canadians entering at land crossings are not scanned.


Through airports it's always happened to me. Through the Canadian border at Niagara Falls it didn't.


I just flew into the US from Canada and have never had my fingerprints scanned.


Fingerprints get scanned when you get a passport here. Maybe they already knew and no need for additional scanning
