Well, crap.

Not that I think I won't get into the country, but this is likely going to delay my actually getting out of the airport, and to be honest, if I'd known of this before I booked my tickets (Virgin's website doesn't have any info on this) I don't know that I would've gone. (Yeah, call me paranoid, but dude, I'm from a country with mandatory ID cards, and yet I can't help feel weird about this.)

I didn't vote for the bastard.

I've heard a lot of (valid) complaints about this from the privacy angle, but as far as I know, it hasn't been a hassle in terms of the time it takes. So worry only about the US government having your data, and not about getting out of the airport.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to stop him from claiming 51% majority as a "mandate". *grumbles something about monkeys, maths, and pies*

Good to know about the lines, and while I'm a wee bit apprehensive about the whole thing, it's too late to back out now, and as long as it's just a photo and fingerprints, the cynical part of me points out that that's nothing they couldn't get without my knowledge, anyway.
