In 2008 I had to get a biometrical passport because my flight back from Costa Rica went through Miami. The passports where at a pilot phase so they were twice as expensive and only valid for 5 years.
Once in Miami they didn't had the tech to read the biometrical data from the passport …
250$ for a Passport + 10$ for a phone call to the us embassy in Switzerland (yes, they only gave out information when calling their 4$/minute hotline) for 3 hours of waiting for my connecting flight. Thanks a lot.
Ah, and of course they did take fingerprints from all fingers and photos for their own database.
