I'm not sure what's to cheer for in this case They decided to go tit-for-tat - it's absolutely their sovereign right to do so. For those that don't know, Brasil already requires visas for US citizens. It is a problem though when they don't have the proper procedures or the technology to do so. If the travelers encur delays of 5-9 hours waiting in line to have their fingerprints taken with inkpads and paper it is telling of a process just created as a tit-for-tat and not of a necessity or need. I think it's going to create more problems for Brasil rather than the travelers - their country image and their tourism industry. After all, as much as I like going there, I can find places to go and spend my money without waiting in line for 5-9 hours to enter there just because they have decided to play a kids game at their airports ...
