A man has his finger scanned on the Homeland Security's new Immigrant Status Indicator Technology as he entered the United States, Monday, Nov. 15, 2004 at the Lincoln-Juarez Internation bridge in Laredo, Texas. Foreigners entering the United States in three cities were fingerprinted, photographed and subjected to background checks Monday in a test of a program that will eventually be extended to every land border crossing nationwide.
