Iran Decides to Fingerprint U.S. Visitors
Iran's conservative-dominated parliament adopted a bill Sunday that would make digital fingerprinting compulsory for all U.S. citizens seeking to enter the country.
"All US citizens should be controlled and subjected to digital fingerprinting when they are issued with a visa and when they enter Iran," according to the bill, adopted after a debate broadcast live on state radio.
"This law comes in response to the American practice of taking digital fingerprints of sportsmen, political officials and other Iranians, sometimes with an insulting attitude," MP Kazem Jalali said during the debate.
Until now, only U.S. journalists have been subjected to digital fingerprinting on arrival in Tehran.
Diplomatic relations between the United States and Iran have been frozen since Washington broke off ties in 1980 following the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.(AFP)

It amazes me how diplomatic tit-for-tats remind me of the old school yard...

Funny thing was...as I read the article I was wondering how many Americans actually wanted to holiday in Iran? This is more political stunt than anything effective.

The big phoneyWhat about Israeli tourists? Yeah, that'd go over well."We do not have a problem with American people. We oppose only the U.S. government's bullying and arrogance," Ahmadinejad said Monday night, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
Gotta hand it to the Iranian Ministry of Tourism...always looking for ways to grow their share of the Great Satan tourism business.
Haven't you heard Israel doesn't exist...only that Zionist entity.
Friggin' cynic
