Fingerprinting requirements are based on state requirements related to the personal safety of children, money or firearms, and not heightened post-9/11 security concerns.
Criminal history records
A criminal history record describes any arrests and subsequent dispositions attributable to an individual. Complete, accurate, and immediately accessible records enable States to:
* immediately identify individuals with prior criminal records in any State
* more effectively identify felons and others prohibited from firearm purchases
* check backgrounds of persons responsible for child, elder and disabled care
* identify individuals who have a history of domestic violence or stalking
* make informed decisions relating to pretrial release and detention of offenders, prosecutions of career criminals and appropriate correctional confinement
* conduct background checks to protect public safety and national security
Criminal records are maintained by each State in a central repository. To facilitate the interstate exchange of criminal history records, the FBI maintains the Interstate Identification Index (III) which is an “index-pointer” system to records of persons arrested for felonies or serious misdemeanors under State or Federal law.
On December 31, 2003
* Over 71 million criminal history records were in the criminal history files of the State criminal history repositories. (An individual offender may have records in several States.)
* Ninety-four percent of the criminal history records maintained by the State criminal history repositories were automated. Approximately 4.1 million records, or 5.7%, were not automated.
* All of the reporting States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia had automated at least some records in either the criminal history record file or the master name index.

Have you ever been fingerprinted (for a job, an arrest or what not)? ;)
