Police began fingerprinting and photographing American tourists arriving at Sao Paolo's international airport yesterday in compliance with a judge's order to match the treatment Brazilians will get when they enter the United States.
Julier Sebastiao da Silva, a federal judge in Mato Grosso state, ordered the move on Monday in response to new regulations requiring citizens from 27 countries, including Brazil, to be fingerprinted and photographed on entering the US as an anti-terrorism measure.
The ruling caught federal officials by surprise, coming during the holidays. At Rio de Janeiro's Antonio Carlos Jobim airport, police said yesterday they were not ready to begin the fingerprinting.
At Sao Paulo's international airport two police agents were on hand to identify US citizens. Some 230 US citizens had been processed.
A police spokesman said: "At first, most of the Americans have been angered at having to go through all this, but they are usually more understanding once they learn Brazilians are subjected to the same treatment in the US."
