because then I'd have understood it remained a current issue.

RT link here Jan. 11th 2014 : UK schools fingerprinted over 800K children, third without parental consent - watchdog http://rt.com/news/uk-school-children-fingerprinted-461/

Mail reported on it Jan. 2nd too : More than 1million children have fingerprints taken at school, often without their parents' knowledge http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2532914/More-1million-children-fingerprints-taken-school-without-parents-knowledge.html

Press reported on it today - Jan.12th : Over 800K kids fingerprinted in UK schools http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/01/12/345095/over-800k-kids-fingerprinted-in-uk/

The vast majority of my friends are UK as am I. Most have got children and some grandchildren too. I can honestly say that none have ever mentioned the subject.

I only relate to fingerprinting from having mine taken on entering the US : http://www.immihelp.com/visas/usvisit.html
