Good Morning PlainOl'; I am rather shocked to hear you make such a statement, especially coming from you. Fingerprinting is literally, "a search of your person"; just as a urinalysis, or a strip search, or covertly tapping your telephone is a search of your personal effects; all of which are unconstitutional without a valid search warrant.
Your statement is equivalent to, and the same thing as saying, "No one should mind the government tapping their phones, or searching their homes, if they haven't done anything wrong". Horse Hockey!
