Here is the latest development on Brazil fingerprinting. It seems that this is not going to happen any time soon. Brazilian government should spend money somewhere else.

I was unable to find the CNN story about the fingerprinting, I wonder if someone is pulling your leg? However I did find this:

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- A Brazilian judge said on Tuesday he had ordered the naked bottom of this month's Brazil Playboy cover girl on billboard ads in Rio de Janeiro be covered up to protect children from obscenity.

Judge Siro Darlan ordered that official black-and-white notices be plastered over the backside of Carla Perez, a well-known television presenter and dancer.

I don't think new immigration procedures single out Brazilians.

It is onehand amusing to witness (absolutely irrationale and completely emotion triggered) reaction of Brazilian lawmakers while it is respectful for them to act what is right for Brazilians.

I wish lawmakers of Brazil had a bit broader perspectives and understanding of US government's desperate measure to prevent another senseless loss of innocent lives.

As Ceylon1 said, finger printing would not deter me from going to Brazil to see my girls. Only downside is my girlfriend has to wait for me a bit little longer (time for finger printing, hopefully use digital technology) outside of the custom area at the airport.
