I've heard before that some Asians' fingerprints don't show up on the electronic thing-a-ma-jig. Yet another ethnocentric machine, I guess.

On the other hand, when I had to go get my fingerprints taken for professional reasons, the cop taking them happened to comment that cement masons often had barely any fingerprints left, from their work.

Good luck to you, anyway. Suggest to them that they need to put your fingerprints on a card with ink, the old-fashioned way. They'll show up then for sure.

And congratulations, too!

We had to go to Biometrics a second time because Thao's finger prints didn't take the first time. You would think they would know at the time they take the prints whether they are good or not.

Yes, I agree that is very funny because when Mai went for her biometrics, the lady running the machine looked at all the fingerprint images very carefully, explaining to us that oftentimes Asian women's fingerprints don't "take" the first time. She seemed satisfied with Mai's prints, and we haven't had any problems with that issue.

You would think that since the Twin Cities has way more Asians than Des Moines, that the biometrics people up there would be more up to speed. Your tax dollars at work.
