I heard a new one the other day. 82-year old man in for a renewal class said that the last time he was fingerprinted, the guy doing it eventually had to borrow a special device used to get fingerprints at the morgue. :shock:

Dont' feel lonesome. It happens all too frequently.

Rather high rate of rejection of fingerprints is one of the reasons that, even as CHL instructor who could be qualified, I don't do them. I went to a special class on fingerprinting several years ago. The more I learned about it (and the cost of the equipment to do it with any "certainty"), the less I wanted to do it - not the old fashioned way, anyway. FBI seems to be using a scanner (and/or operator?) that is sometimes quite persnikety.

Another royal PIA can be when the officer who does the fingerprinting does not sign the back of one of the passport photos and an applicant gets it sent back and has to go chase him/her down ...
