On top of the other reasons why America doesn't fingerprint everyone is due to people like my sister, that think using fingerprint technologies in public schools in order to pay for cafeteria lunches (I think it makes since, as kids can't lose their fingerprints) is the "mark of the beast" or something along those lines.

That beast has been really busy. EVERYONE has got those marks. Yikes. Scary! Run!
Oh, wait. They're not on our foreheads - so I guess we're okay until we start taking forehead prints.
Seriously, I kid you not, she believes this. You should have seen my reaction when she told me this...I don't even think incredulous begins to cover it.
