AFAIK the US require taking fingerprints even from europeans

I agree. I sincerely would have wished IETFs from 61 and on
were held outside the US as long as they run their fingerprinting
policy. I feel really incensed, being treated like that. And
I have no illusions about the fingerprints taken when I come to
IETF61 not finding their way into the US fingerprint data bases
which now, I believe, mostly hold fingerprints of criminals and
people who have been arrested and booked. Bah.
Currently IETF is held at east- and west-coast. Why not
change this into south/north? Canada in Summertime,
Mexiko in Wintertime.
Good suggestion.
