| 201 | Anonymous | As everybody here, I'm wondering why Japanese government decided to take such mesure...
If you wnat to take fingerprints, take everybody's ! Doing so will avoid pointing at the foreigners as the eternal wrong doers in Japan, which they are not ! Don't you think Japanese people are racist enough? It will become pure xenophobia now |

| 203 | Alexandra Ornston | I am a permanent resident who makes regular trips with my two young children, both Japanese citizens, through Nagoya airport which will NOT be equiped with automated gates. This new procedure will be time consuming at the end of a long, exhuasting flight. I believe it is unnecessary and a waste of our tax yen, not to mention humilating to those of us who are long term, law abiding,tax paying residents of Japan. |

| 211 | david mcnish | This is racist and a violation of human rights. I am going to petition my MP in the UK to raise this in the house of commons as a serious issue which countries like Japan should not ne considering |

| 215 | Sam Baranowski | How many foreigners have committed terrorist acts on Japanese soil? If my memory serves me correctly, the few that there have been have all been done by the Japanese. |

| 223 | Anonymous | An absolute disgrace. The next time my family visits Japan, the boys will walk through the front gates of immigration with their Japanese mother while their father is being fingerprinted & having mug shots taken like a common criminal. I am very pleased that there are no calls to make this abhorant anti-terrorism measure multi-lateral by reciprocating the favour for the 750,000 Japanese who visit Australia each year. This is yet another civil liberty defeat in the imaginary "war on terror". Apparently similar measures were first introduced in the US. Missile shields, billions of dollars in arms sales to Israel & Middle Eastern allies, CIA tortures, etc etc. Is this the democracy that George W is spreading around the world? |
| 224 | davidandres | Making a distinction between "special" permanent resident (who do not get fingerprinted) and all other resident foreigners is undeniably discriminatory behaviour. |

| 232 | Léopold st Amant | A country should only fingerprint those who has committed a crime.
Consider this : Japan will fingerprint foreigners and every foreign country will fingerprint Japanese... you end up with a pretty big database for future reference. |
| 233 | Anonymous | This new requirement is not only incongruous and unreasonable, but also appears xenophobic. I can only imagine Japan losing valuable tourism, business, and foreign nationals, including the money and taxes that come with them if Japan proceeds in such a manner. In addition, the new law will disrupt interracial Japanese-foreign families and their travels. The world will frown over what can only be perceived as shortsighted thinking and discrimination. Invading a foreign national's privacy is NOT the key to security. There is no precedent to initiate such measures when, historically, every single terrorist act on Japanese soil has been done by a Japanese national. I urge the Government of Japan to reconsider. |

| 235 | ken allison | Fingerprinting of foreigners is a waste of their time and the Immigration Bureau's. It will reduce inbound tourism and will have no effect on terrorism. |
| 236 | Mathew Douglas Lincoln | I hope you win at this.

| 237 | Anonymous | It is not necessary to fingerprint all foreigners who enter Japan. It will make them feel like criminals and give Japan a bad reputation for treatment of foreigners. If anything it's going to reduce the amount of tourists that come to Japan as many people will refuse to go to a country that fingerprints them. |

| 239 | Steven Syrek | I am former English teacher, who lived in Japan, and I think this will dampen good feeling between Japan and other countries. |
