In the light of the current Iranian bomb suspects story, it would be interesting to see how the fingerprinting is actually going to be used once its up and running. Question: How will it help? If it is to check that a passport holder really is that person, what access to other nations' fingerprint/criminal record databases will Thailand realistically be able to link to? (or Indonesia, whose airport fingerprinting system is already up and running) Nobody seems to be asking the question of how they will effectively be able to use the fingerprint data they capture at a port or airport to enhance national security. What is your opinion? Hi Richard,
