Surprised this hasn't been picked up yet.
Japan is "going to" implement a Social Security like number to it's people.
ok, I'm not completely sure this is going to happen or not but the news is full of it recently.
Problems that many are complaing that "personal privacy" is going to be impacted upon. You've got police in Kumamoto-Ken who have free access to citizens records and what not going on.
Of course, nobody mentions that the Japanese internet is still very young and full of security holes.
Hmmm ... I don't mind the number so much, I'm much more worried about the privacy issues. Japan used to be very easy to get any information you want about people at the city office. It was just a simple form you had to fill out. those days have passed but still.
I've also had checks by the police about who was living in my apartment. Nothing bad, just standard procedure.
