Name: Nicholas Delgrego on Oct 25, 2007Comments: I understand the need for security, but the manner in which this is being carried out is absurd. Japan is trying to welcome people from abroad with its "Yokoso Campaign" only to treat them like criminals before they arrive at the door. I wouldn't be opposed if we fingerprinted everyone, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.Flag

Name: Sebastian Gahan on Oct 25, 2007Comments: I have signed this petition not only because I object to the implications behind fingerprinting of all foreign nationals entering Japan,i.e. perpetuating the image of foreigners as criminals or general wrong doers, but also because Japan will live to regret this misplaced policy. Not only because they will lose millions and millions of yen in tourism but also because they are giving totally the wrong impression of "yokoso Japan" which will lead to their reputation as a friendly, kind race being totally decemated, as happened with America when they took this same extremist stance.Flag

Name: Krzysztof Lesyk on Oct 25, 2007Comments: I find the requirement demeaning and the fact that only foreigners are singled out as potential terrorists despicable. The whole ordeal is pointless, counterproductive and offensive and should be abolished.Flag

Name: Bruce Wood on Oct 25, 2007Comments: I think the Japanese government has misplaced priorities. How about catching the Japanese criminals you know about like Tatsuya Ichihashi before you start pointing (or printing as it were) fingers at others!Flag

Name: M Petit on Oct 25, 2007Comments: This policy is not understandable in the XXI century from a democratic country. Then this is in contradiction with the "Youkoso Japan" will. Japan administration must understand that this policy is humiliating for foreigners and can be see as xenophobia.Flag

Name: Michael Studte on Oct 25, 2007Comments: Having worked and lived in Japan for several years in the past, I am somewhat disappointed that the Japanese government feels that I am less safe/reliable to enter the country. After all, the worst "terrorist attack" in Japan's history was perpetrated by japanese citizens.Flag

Name: Guido Muenz on Oct 25, 2007Comments: At least foreigners living in Japan and holding valid visa, multiple reentry permit and certificate of alien registration ("gaijin card") must be exempt. Why do we have to be photographed and fingerprinted every time we come back home It is plainly ridiculous!Flag
