Let's RFID tag foreigners

Brave new world. There are mornings you want to be saved reading the news, saved reading and watching the villain, the vilified politician of the month, former Vice Defense Minister Moriyami brought to prison, saved reading about Miyazaki prefecture's governor Hideo Higashikokubaru musing aloud in a public meeting about the needs to a one to two years military service (re)instated in Japan. Or what about this one: "A group of Japanese cities with communities of non-Japanese residents called on the central government in a conference Wednesday to establish a national registry to help improve keeping track of foreign residents who move localities." Municipalities are loosing track of some foreigners who do not log in at the local authorities when moving towns. What the local registries have been incompetent at dealing with, a national registry will. Of course, these utterances are spilled most probably in good faith for the good of the community at large. But what about the grounding thinking that support those concerns? What about the collaterals? Why not jump a step further ahead right away and call for the RFID tagging of foreigners, including visitors at the gate? No more fingerprinting. A shot in the arm and welcome to Japan. Implant chips to identify the livings. Track them on GPS, radar screens swarming with blinking dots. Call Hollywood, I have story.
