Honorable Senator, if you wish to work for the government (or certain other orgs with a big impact on the public, or in certain highly sensitive posts, like armed security guard), then you simply have to put up with this. Especially if you're working for *my* government, or flying *my* airplane, or guarding *my* money, it's not in my interest to help you. So... don't work for the government. Work for yourself, or for someone who treats you like a grownup. Liberty ain't always free and easy.
short of getting someone else to put their fingers in ink for me does anyone have a cute method by which to obscure my prints on those cute little cards without it being obvious?
Sneak into a morgue (I assume you wouldn't even consider involving a third party who isn't already dead). See to it that you're never fingerprinted a second time. Actually, if you simply give them a mirror image of your prints, some matching techniques might fail... -rich
