I read that to, I figure the tourism industry will be hit hard.

Who in there right mind will want to visit the US if they are forced to be fingerprinted and have other non essential information taken from them by a shadowy foreign government? If that type of information were to get in the wrong hands it could have serious consequences. The CIA could do some dirty deed and then blame it on an innocent foreigner who visited Disney land for a few days. Can your government guarantee that my information will only be used for its original intended purpose and protect my privacy information? I don't think so, and as long as they are taking information from me other than what is on my passport I will not visit the US. I urge other non US citizens not to do so as well. It is bad enough giving such information to your own government, but at least if they abuse that information you have given, you have a much better chance of suing their asses for violating privacy rights.
