		<description>Im from London, booked tickets out to thailand on the 1st September and was going to be traveling to Japan - really looking forward to it aswell.

However, after learning this I have cancelled the plan to travel to Japan ... this is an abrasive and totally unjust/ racist violation of human rights and despite a long term dream of visiting the country, especially tokyo, i now liken going to japan the same as going to any other country with an appalling human rights record. 

It is totally unjust to treat foreigners in this way and if they want to get their tourism trade going again after the earthquake and disaster this is not the way to do it!

I felt sorry for them after all that happened.... well stuff the lot of them, couldn&#039;t have happened to more distrusting, racist and evil people. It&#039;s not as if the UK didn&#039;t give them aid and help during their crisis only to be treated as terror suspects. 

Disgusting country - feel sick we here in the uk give foreigners such freedoms and in return we get treated like terrorists!!</description>

		<description>@joe madely  I feel sorry for US Citizens in US, but at least citizens itself are going through the same BS, while Japanese are not, because their Constitution do not allow to do it. The only people they can do whatever they like are those who have no rights like us and as officials in GoJ said J Constitution is only for J people (from blood not naturalized)</description>

		<description>Today friend of mine went through Narita. It is getting worse guys. She was not only fingerprinted (all 10 fingers!!! yes, not 2 anymore) and photographed, but her eyes was scanned too. I couldn`t believe it, but she told me that she had re-entry but still went though this crap. How it comes no one wrote about it, even Japan Times. Probably there is now special gate for re-entrants. Can someone confirm it?
Japan is America`s slave dog, even worse, because America do not do this to its legal residents on each reentry</description>

		<description>Do you know why these measures (finger printing, biometric data, police state alert, checking your id at random) have been introduced in japan?  I can tell you why here:

the japanese goverment has been hijacked/ overtaken by a powerful group of elite bankers that control even america today.  Through bribery and threats, the japanese government is under the control of these powerful groups  all these anti-terrorist measures: finger printing, biometric data etc is just a guise to control you, in the future. they will know what where you&#039;ve been, what you&#039;ve done, where you go shopping etc, they will have total control over your life.  It will be a cashless society where all your data and money will be stored in RFID chips implanted into your hand.  If you do something they don&#039;t like they&#039;ll simply cancel your money balances - total control!  The technology to do all this aleady exists, they just need to implement it into your lives

Think about it: without the treat of terror, do you think the US government would be able to take away so many freedoms the US citizens have been enjoying previously.  finger prints for dirving license, power to detrain and arrest without reason, indefinite imprisonment without reason.  Wake up Japan you&#039;ve been had!

		<description>Here you can put your voice. They made already health insurance not required for visa renewal. Please vote for ban of fingerprinting at each re-entry. Let try to make fascist Japan a little bit better.

		<description>Wow. Settle down. Nobody is claiming that foreigners do or should violate Japanese sovereignty. The whole US base thingis a completely different issue and has nothing to do with fingerprinting. I agree that fingerprinting is fine if the people elected by the Japanese public passed the law. I know there are people that claim it is an infringement of some kind of human right, but that is a real stretch in my opinion.
You really seem to be spoiling for a fight, but I think you will find most of the people that visit this site are willing to grudgingly accept being fingerprinted. That said, I would be interested to know if there have actually been any cases where these prints have actually been brought before a court as evidence and if so, how well they stood up.
As to being frustrated about being ruled by non-whites, I just don&#039;t know where you get that from. Frustration at incompetent politicians seems to be a universal phenomenon that crosses all boundaries of country, race and culture.</description>

		<description>Do you people here know the concept of Sovereignty? it states that a sovereign country does not need non-citizens, foreigners, foreign governments opinion to vote new laws, new rules that please its own citizens. Japan is actually a sovereign country and being the host of US bases does not make it the 51th State. If Japan chose to vote this law is means that it was the citizens of Japan choice, the government have been democratically-elected and they vote any law they want without asking any country opinon. 

Live with it, Japan belongs to japanese. Foreigners won&#039;t rule japanese people, espacially white foreigners who seem sometimes frustrated about being ruled by non-whites.</description>

		<description>Although I am not American, I think it is safe to say many (most?) people are against such arbitrary fingerprinting regardless of where it happens. In my case, it is a price I am willing to pay to live in Japan because I love the country so much. Clearly, a lot of others are not prepared to make that sacrifice, but that doesn&#039;t make them hypocrites.</description>

		<description>Actually when I heard about this same thing in US, I decided not to go there for a half year research visit. Well... it&#039;s their loss. Free money lost. I also won&#039;t go to US as a tourist, because of this kind of BS. Now, the same for Japan... well... so be it. Japanese cannot handle their economy, and without tourists, it would be impossible. Just vote with your money. I think this kind of thing affects mostly the welcomed guests with brains.</description>
