Kiwis to be fingerprinted when entering Britain

Britain has now adopted the US requirement of fingerprinting visitors applying for visas.

“The UK is planning to tighten its borders through this proposed reform. A Bill stipulating this and other immigration reforms — the UK Border Bill — is pending before the British Parliament, and there’s an urgency now after the failed terror attacks. Once in place, the fingerprint of any seeking to enter UK — for work or as a tourist — will be scanned at visa-issuing offices and put through criminal / terrorist databases before clearance.”
