Fingerprinted at Japanese Immigration

Go watch this: http://nettv.gov-online.go.jp/prg/prg1203.html

RANT TIME: Seriously, what the fuck was that?!? I've known about this for over a year now but not only does that video not explain with any logic why these new measures have been implemented but it insults our intelligence as well!!! How exactly does having our fingerprints reordered protect us more than Japanese people?

I know Japanese tv likes to treat it's viewers like children with ridiculously dated approaches to educating adults but this just takes the cake.

This just reeks of racism. Why? Because it's only non-Japanese who will be fingerprinted. If they were really concerned about national security everyone would be fingerprinted as the only major terrorist attack in Japanese history was conducted by Japanese citizens!

Statistically, Japanese people commit more crimes than non-Japanese yet the right wing propaganda continues to convince Japanese people otherwise.

Demanding non-Japanese to be fingerprinted and photographed upon entry into Japan is a slap in the face and just reflects badly on the country as a whole.

Contamination said...: I am anticipating the day when I have to get fingerprinted while my wife and children are waved through..

Still, Japan is great for bringing excess duty free through. I've never had my bag checked once, but every time I go through Sydney it is a nightmare. Fingerprints Vs Invasive bag search? Lets roll those fingers!
