    I remember registering my fingerprints as a kid as part of a Cub or Boy Scout activity. In retrospect that was really messed up.

      Maybe not. When I did it for my kids, it was to create a sample that could be used in an emergency, to be held by the parents. It was never given to anyone. No one collected it. It not get added to some database somewhere
