Obey Your Sins
Had our fingerprints taken twice yesterday for our state of IL adoption clearances (which is not the same as the fingerprinting that's done for the I-171H form). Scanned prints are for our criminal clearance, ink prints are for our "child abuse clearance," which sounds like we're applying for permission to abuse a child, but I assure you we are NOT. Illinois is particularly stringent about clean records, which is a-ok by us.
The fingerprints were done by a company called Identix, which sets up in various locations on different days of the week. It's basically a guy with a laptop and a little scanner. Yesterday they were at a school bus company, doing the printing in the employee lunch room. There was a display on the wall with a bunch of cutouts of street signs -- stop, one way, pedestrian silhouette crossing. And carefully spelled out in the middle of the display: OBEY YOUR SINS.
