Plus there are other registered people (human beings, Homo sapiens, not just Japanese citizens) that are actually exempt from the process!
I dont understand what the problem of figerprinting policy is ...
It cooperates with pleasure if going to the foreign country.
I think no Japanese complain about that if there is same policy in foreign country,
btw
it checked english language ability to work in England?
I think it is a discrimination
....This is how it will be in Japan from now on.

And, how do you respond to the statement that none of Japan's terrorist acts have come from foreigners?Japan's fingerprinting policy must be annoying to foreigners, I understand. I experienced that in US airport, and it was annoyed. But it's just an extra precaution against terrorists.
I am neither a criminal nor ex-criminal, yet I am screened.Plus, better screening criminals and ex-criminals especially from certain countries.
The movement is on, and it starts at home, here in Japan.But funny thing is .... if Japan introduced fingerprinting policy first in the world, what will have happened? I'm sure there must have been a big anti-Japan movement in the world.
The policies are different in Japan and the US. That's one reason for the major complaining.Fortunately, USA introduced first, and then Japan followed. Thus, it is none of anti-Japan movement.

Or that the fingerprinting system is flawed, not just because the machines don't work or because fingerprinting itself if not 100% accurate, but because the fingerprinting policy does not include all foreigners.

Talking Europe, what would you say, if France would start to fingerprint the Portuguese, but not the Spanish? Just for your own safety, of course...About the discrimination, I don't see the big fuzz,
Well, no offense, hideway, but you need to read more. As has been mentioned on several threads on this web site alone, the fingerprinting policy here has major flaws and is very discriminatory. Moreover, as a tourist to Japan, you might be like Goldiegirl and not feel miffed at all, but as a resident like me, one will. Oh, and the Japanese don't have national ID cards, mostly because the Japanese refuse to have them. Big difference.I don't really see the problem here.
Actually, there is some Japanese support, just not enough.Originally Posted by Glenski

And you must be feeling "powerless" because you do not have Japanese supports.
Don't change the subject. I am not saying anything like that. In fact, I tell many foreigners who want to come here to be very careful about imposing western morals on Japanese ways. The fingerprinting policy is blatantly discriminatory and wrong.Quote:The policies are different in Japan and the US. That's one reason for the major complaining
Yes, Westerners often tell "Japanese are ethically wrong but we are right."
An "extra precaution" that is horribly flawed, not just "imperfect".That's why I said But it's just an extra precaution against terrorists.
Nothing perfect in this world.
Do you have to give fingerprints every time you make a bank transaction? No. Do your fingerprints at the bank get scrutinized by the government everytime you enter the bank? No. Are your fingerprints shared by other banks and government entities and the police and Interpol? No. Big difference, but you just don't seem to get it.Fingerprint me. I had to give fingerprints to open my bank account.
blatantly discriminatory and wrong.
