Hardly surprising as things are, I suppose this will slow things down for processing.

I was hauled into a separate room in America a couple of years ago when my hand image didn't match the last one I had!

Do I LOOK  like a terrorist ???

I ask you seriously!

 The flipping Americans are so miserable in their airport jobs they all look as if they are sucking on Lemons!

It was a connecting in flight as well, so we had limited time - berks!  >:(

My middle finger left hand has bent slightly from the knuckle nearest the nail - probably due to rheumatism or something -
It was viewed on a screen in the room I was sent too by two officials  and they decided ( well one did ) Disabled!!
Stupid gits!

I really wanted to stick that finger up to them as I left that room to catch my connecting flight out.
Thought better of it though, maybe because I'm old and wise  :))

So - how do the 'real' villains get away?????

Ahh yes I know it's because they are pulling old ladies in for having a wonky finger!!

Can you imagine some of the interviews.

Official......Now sir, have you proof of your identity.
Holiday maker......... Yes I have
Official........And what might that be sir
Holiday maker........My old passport.

Can't remember if it was on this forum or somewhere else where I started a thread on how easy it was to get a birth certificate and questioned what other documents you could get.  When you read about our home grown terrorists what would an interview have proved?

It would prove that I have a wonky finger mycul and that I am the least possible candidate to be a terrorist  ::)

On the topic, I got my passport in 2013 my first ever and had to go to Sheffield for the interview, they ask you questions is a relaxed atmosphere takes about 10-15 mins.
