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.)

Yep. We Canadians are now the only evil furriners who can enter the US without being fingerprinted, scanned, etc. -- and honestly, I doubt that'll last long. Personally, I think all the visa waiver countries (like yours) should decide that turnabout is fair play, and start collecting this sort of personal information from every American tourist who passes through one of their airports. They're so pathological about their right to privacy, it might be nice to see what they think of being treated as guilty until proven innocent.
