The Eastern Edge

Further to my previous post;

TOKYO — The House of Representatives on Thursday approved by a majority vote a bill revising the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Law to fingerprint and photograph all foreign visitors as part of its campaign to fight terrorism. The legislation will be sent to the House of Councillors and is expected to be enacted during the current Diet session due to end June 19.

The bill stipulates that foreigners entering Japan must present personal identification data in electromagnetic format, such as fingerprints, photographs and other items as defined by ordinances issued by the Justice Ministry. The measure excludes ethnic Koreans and other permanent residents with special status, those under 16, those visiting Japan for diplomatic or official purposes, and those invited by the state.

This should help Japan in its push to be a top tourist nation and player on the international stage.

It is the equivalent of saying; "Welcome to Japan. We hope you enjoy your stay. But first bend your ass over so we can rape your dignity, you potentially-crimial, smelly, lazy, foreign bitch!"

It funny because I have heard a lot of Japanese bitch and moan when they have to answer more than a couple questions at immigration in a foreign country ("why do they treat us Japanese as criminals?", they ask as if they think the world should see them all as cute, non-threatening hello kitty like characters).
