They were NOT optional. If you read the link in my post, apparently if you're a foreign national who requires a visa, one will not be issued without full fingerprinting.

That's wild. I also traveled recently and at first they tried to tell me biometrics were not optional. But the sign was right there.
Must be a different situation.

You may be right. I really didn't look around or ask. When I responded I was just going by the article I read.

To clarify, face scanning was optional on Int. Flights but fingerprinting was not.

non us plebs have been getting printed fingers for visas since at least mid 2000s, but that doesnt make it easy to follow you everywhere you go in future, unlike biometric face detection. then again home depot seems to do it too now, so that’s ok right? dont give up plebs!
