It's been almost a year since we last arrived through SD so it's possible things have changed, however neither my husband nor myself recall being fingerprinted. To the best of our recollection, it was busy and took at least 1 to 1.5 hours to clear customs. Hope this helps.

I came through just 4 weeks ago and they did not do fingerprints on anyone that I saw. It took anywhere from a few minutes to 3/4 of an hour or so to clear, depending where you were in line.
