For years, I resisted TSA Pre check on principle, even though I was a frequent traveler. I finally relented when I realized there were places like Thailand that force you to give your biometrics, and almost certainly sell them back to shadowy US agencies.

You're being returned the favor! Anyone that's ever entered the US has had to do the same, and our prints are being stored in a DHS database.

Out of curiosity, did you not need to provide prints to get a passport in the first place? I can't image a single developed country without biometric passports.
