Submission + - Japan customs will require fingerprints. (immi-moj.go.jp)
Synchis writes: "This link came to me in a company email and describes the changes going on in Japan to "Combat Terrorists". Tourists and travelers going to Japan will have to submit to being finger-printed and possibly photographed at customs. Some exemptions are made, but really, is this seriously necessary? Should normal people have to subject themselves to being treated like a common criminal for the sake of public safety? Will this really make a difference?"
