Fingerprint escrow?
Does this mean that, ipso facto (I love it), physically challenged
individuals with missing or deformed hands are excluded regardless of other
qualifications? What a monstrosity of a rule!
Was this carried over the wire? AP?

The fact that Irene Mortensen has citizenship at all proves her point.
Is it not possible to retroactively _remove_ the citizenship of such an
arrogant bureaucrat to test whether she could make the grade imposed on the
rest of the world's "refuse?"
"Dear Irene Mortensen:
We regret to inform you....."
Thanks, Mike, for the increase in BP.
