Every visitor to the US is fingerprinted these days.

Except Canadians.

Unless they're NEXUS pass holding Canadians, in which case they have been fingerprinted. I just got fingerprinted this weekend for a NEXUS pass; my fingerprints are apparently "perfect". The US CBP agent taking them advised me not to take up a life of crime, as I would be caught very quickly. Or at least to wear gloves.

When did they start doing this?

I arrived two weeks ago, no finger print required.

No they do not. I've never been fingerprinted as a Canadian until I got a work visa for the USA. For many Canadians who visit the usa for tourism or similar will never have their fingerprints in a canadian or us database under current laws.
