    Yeah it was for our safety. I remember doing it.
    I’ve had a couple jobs that required it again anyways.

    I’d be surprised if most of those kids fingerprint records still even exist. Most of my old school records are long gone.

      I believe that they were registered with the FBI.

      Apparently fingerprints change as you grow so it was probably a dumb idea to begin with. Your fingerprint as a child is different than your fingerprint now.
