Yes. State Dept already has my photo from my passport, fingerprints stored by DHS aren’t that much more (Global Entry specific).

I trust federal agencies more than private corporations, having seen the inside of both.



Am I missing something? Aren't fingerprints a form of PII that everyone just leaves lying around on everything they touch? And that the government isn't really permitted to collect & catalog except as part of a criminal investigation (or a few other minor licensing hurdles like selling alcohol)?
