Default Fingerprinting at the US border

Just a quick question.

I went to the USA back in March, for the first time since
photographing/fingerprinting of foreign nationals at the borders was
introduced.

Given that I have already been inducted into the system, so to speak, can I
expect this to happen upon my return in June or is it a once-only thing?

Thanks

Colin

Nope, you'll get it every single time. (Except, that is, if you have paid
for a multiple entry visitor card, which to my knowledge are only
available at land borders.)

Take care
