When they take a swab of your hands using either the scanner or the paper procedure, do they fingerprint us in the process?thanks

No, they don't take your fingerprints in the process. They swab your hands with a wet paper and put it inside an explosive detecting machine.

I have been swabbed for explosives many times in many countries, and my fingerprints were never taken. In fact, I don't think they ever swabbed my fingertips, and it was only the palm of the hand that was swabbed.
