No one said it was perfect, but it's better than nothing.

You know, they have this cute little function in the lower right-hand corner of a post that actually provides you the ability to cite the post to which you are referring.
Again, you can have all the fingerprints you want, it doesn't mean a thing and, yes, they are useless in prevention unless, as has been previously stated numerous times, the person had already been caught.
And, yes, I've been fingerprinted for many different reasons, from my security clearance to weapons permit, and it still doesn't make any difference, all they are good for is identifying me AFTER the fact.
