The change, which the FBI revealed quietly in a February 2015 Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), means that if you ever have your fingerprints taken for licensing or for a background check, they will most likely end up living indefinitely in the FBI's NGI database. They'll be searched thousands of times a day by law enforcement agencies across the country—even if your prints didn't match any criminal records when they were first submitted to the system.

My IT employment with the Us Gov, required that I be finger printed.   I always assumed they would be kept on record someplace.  I wasn't worried about it.   

Since the transgression of my youth where I might have left a print or two happened nearly 60 years ago, I wasn't nor am not worried about.  Those records are long gone.
