If this were really as much of a conspiracy as people are making it out to be, wouldn't it make sense to ask for THUMB prints? that's what the subject line says, and that's what the titles of the two jpeg files are. But if you look at the pictures, they plainly ask for the right index finger.
I doubt the machine cares which finger visitors use. Since most people in this country are functionally illiterate, the average visitor may well present a thumb rather than an index finger.
