I traveled a lot in post-soviet countries. Once I was held for several hours by military police for losing my way into restricted military area. But never ever anyone took my fingerprints, except TSA agents...

At risk of appearing to be some sort of TSA shill in this thread, you are not actually fingerprinted for international travel by TSA: "United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (commonly referred to as US-VISIT) is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) management system. The system involves the collection and analysis of biometric data (such as fingerprints), which are checked against a database to track individuals deemed by the United States to be terrorists, criminals, and illegal immigrants." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US-VISIT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US-VISIT

  And the US is not the only country which fingerprints non-citizens on arrival. I know Japan does, and possibly other countries too.
