The FBI Teams Up With The Post Office To Get Your Fingerprints

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is teaming up with the “highly efficient” post office to make sure they’ve got your fingerprints. Even though it wasn’t that long ago that people were warned of sharing their DNA with ancestry sites, it seems they might have reason to be concerned now about the FBI’s desire to snag your fingerprints too.

More of the Unrelenting Data Collection Toward Totalitarian Rule

Now, the government has announced a new program in which they hope people will voluntarily give their fingerprints.  As the public has become more aware of such privacy concerns, it seems strange that on Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a new partnership with the United States Postal Service where customers can voluntarily provide them with their fingerprints while you’re at the post office.

Through a partnership between the #FBI and the @USPS, you can now submit your fingerprints electronically for an identity history summary check (IdHSC) while you buy stamps or mail packages.

It is a voluntary program, but for dims is is mandatory.

Doesn't one have to submit fingerprints to apply for a conceal carry?

What about those seeking asylum into the U.S.??

What about those applying for a passport?

What about those arrested?

I didn't submit fingerprints to get my concealed carry license, nor for a passport. When I did a summer internship with the U.S. Department of Interior several decades ago, they had me ink my own fingers and print them on a little card. I've always wondered whether they still have those on file - they're probably unreadable.

I put off my conceal carry permit because Texas required fingerprints.  After fingerprints also became required for my P.E. license, I got my carry permit.

I'll have to ask Mr. M, because I really don't remember being printed for the carry permit. There certainly was a background check, though.

Makes no matter to me, I had to submit to a Live Scan back when I was still working and we had jobs in high schools so they have had all of mine for years. Ever since then I make sure gloves are on the planning list.
