I think they're just trying this out as a "more thorough" program:
From the article:
The current two-fingerprint arrival system is being used in 115 airports, 15 seaports and 154 land border checks. About 100 million fingerprints have been taken so far, and more than 34,000 people whose names showed up on U.S. watch lists were denied entry, Wright said.
They'll probably expand the program later on. Yes, I don't see the value either...
