BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazil on Thursday began fingerprinting and photographing U.S. visitors on orders of a judge who compared planned U.S. security controls on travelers from Brazil and other nations to Nazi horrors.

Federal Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva, furious at U.S. plans to fingerprint and photograph millions of visitors on entering the United States, ordered Brazil's authorities do the same to U.S. citizens starting on Thursday.

1. If they also arrest a few U.S. citizens and send them to Syria to

be tortured, do you think America will take the hint?

we have a right to be a bit perturbed, but anyone who doesn't see the tit for tat irony is blinded by nationalistic hubris.

But Bush won't notice until someone like Canada decides to have the balls to pull something like that.

11. Watching Brazilian TV now

Many stories about Brazilian tourists being held in locked rooms for hours, having their visas cancelled and sent back for no reason whatsoever.

13. What would happen if all nations did this?

I know many people are happy about this jokingly, how other countries are sticking it to the US, but what if every nation were to identify, catalogue, and file away the information of every person who travels to every other country.

This kind of stuff was impossible back in the day but now with computers and whatnot this could actually be a reality in the future, except for those that "travel illegally."

What would the greater implications of this be.

14. The heck with fingerprints and photographs!

I'm looking for some nation to call for regime change in the U.S., using the exact same words dimWit used in talking about Iraq.

15. Seems only fair.
