The Washington Post reported that on Feb. 13 the European Commission would propose fingerprinting of all travelers entering and leaving Europe, and if the European Parliament approves, the plan will be implemented but not for at least a year.

Under the plan the Europeans will do so as well, adding the information to databases to be shared with friendly countries in the name of national security and immigration control.
