Fingerprinting in Japan to screen visitors

New provisions regarding those who enter Japan. When visiting Japan, should we be fingerprinted by the government? These new measures are aimed at the prevention of terrorism. Many might agree that an ounce of prevention is priceless. However, there are also those that may suspect it is an infringement of our civil rights. That perhaps it's just another way for the government to have a means to track us? Read ahead, visit the link, and decide for yourself.

Entering Japan:

As of November 20, 2007, all foreigners, including foreign residents, get fingerprinted and photographed upon entering Japan as a measure aimed at preventing terrorism. People refusing to cooperate are not granted entry into the country.
Excluded from this procedure are persons under the age of 16 and a few special groups, such as diplomats, visiting dignitaries and tokubetsu eijuusha (Korean and Taiwanese long-term residents of Japan, who lost their Japanese citizenships after the war).
