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...

That doesn't make any sense. SSL assumes you know VeriSign's public key and it is incorruptible. The bank's certificate would be signed with VeriSign's key. The whole point of SSL is that VeriSign is the weak point, and you have to assume that they are unspoofable.
