This is a trend happening all over the world. I was primarily in the security business but the need to have fingerprints taken for literally every aspect of employment or immigration has caused this side of my business to explode. It is all I do any more. Its a basic premise and I don’t whole heartedly agree with it but if you’ve got nothing to worry about then you have nothing to worry about. It would certainly clear up the whole mess with the terrorist watchlist by name only. Fingerprints are unique to an individual rather than a name only.

Signed the petition, wrote a blog, now are looking for a way to ‘voice’ your displeasure?

Informing as many people about the issue is a good start, with enough ‘voice’ we can get this reppealed or at the very least ammended.

Copy the ‘tract’ on the reentry japan blog, copy and send a form letter (from debito.org) to a politician or tourist bureau and…

WEAR A “YOKOSO JAPAN 11/20 COMMEMORATIVE TEE” protest t-shirt everywhere you go, especially when passing through customs and immigration! Find the shirts available at:

Well, you may not care about people invading your privacy, but what about people who do? I canceled my trip to Japan when I heard about this. I was planning to visit with my wife so we could enjoy a lovely country, with a wonderful people and language. But we didn’t want to be subjected to a degrading invasion of privacy that has no real warrant (as if foreign terrorists are going to invade Japan, and as if fingerprinting everyone would ever stop that).

That’s precisely what Spanish-speaking immigrants are doing in the USA. The older generation show little initiative to learn English and expect government services to be offered in Spanish for them. Spanish-speaking schools run in neighbourhoods, where the kids are exposed to little to no English. In fact, more people now speak Spanish in Los Angeles than in Barcelona.

I personally don’t think this is a good thing; on the other hand, the xenophobic attitudes to immigrant shown by racists the world over is no good alternative, neither is the preferential treatment of foreigners as exemplified by Singapore. But for now at least, I believe Singaporeans’ attitudes to foreigners are among the best in the world.

For your info, I just got back from Bangkok a few weeks back and they took my photo at the immigration point. So I don’t think it’s that big of a deal for countries to require foreigners to have their photos/fingerprints taken.

And if you want to scream about discrimination, when I was visiting certain temples in Thailand they have certain entrances for THAIs ONLY (Tourists have to enter by an entrance further away) and to add on to that they even have different shoe racks for foreigners when you enter the temple. How come nobody seems to be complaining at this?

To me, basically, it’s their country, thus you live by their rules. It’s like going to the US and complaining that people there don’t wanna learn to speak your language.
