Drug erases fingerprints

A commonly-used cancer drug can make patients' fingerprints disappear, potentially causing problems for foreign travel, a doctor warns.

Dr Tan, based at the National Cancer Centre in Singapore, said several other patients had also reported loss of fingerprints on blog sites, with some also having problems entering the US.

This just goes to show that chemo really is useless and bad for you.

Hahaha this is going to be a huge plus for criminals who do not want to be caught!

Also I guess the fingerprint removal strategy used in "Men in Black" (the movie) will be less painful now

Sorry I'm 4 months late, but super-glue/krazy-glue if used in a certain way, will cover the fingerprints for about a week.

So the real criminals know how to cover their fingerprints.
