Why are they in such a fearful state that they feel the must photograph and fingerprint foreigners?<BR/><BR/>"If you have nothing to hide then you should happily be searched..."<BR/><BR/>I can turn that around and say, "If you do not suspect me of a crime, why should you search me?" <BR/><BR/>Should we accept to be defacto searched? Should we accept to be defacto printed and photographed as if we were suspects of a crime? <BR/><BR/>Especially those of us who live in Japan?<BR/><BR/>Should the government be allowed to enter our houses day or night and search them? Hey it is okay if you have nothing to hide!<BR/><BR/>This is an insult to the NJ population, and an outrage!<BR/><BR/>There has always been terrorism. Terrorism is about terror and fear, and they have made everyone so fearful that they accept these attacks on freedom and privacy. <BR/><BR/>So I will say, I am not afraid of terrorism, whether it be the terror of planes flying into building, or the terror of the Rape of Nanking. Each is an act of terror, differing by only degree and perpetrator.<BR/><BR/>And to be quite honest, this move by the Japanese government does nothing to protect from the former, and take two steps in the direction of the latter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230217292267896715.post-92146562314718203682007-11-25T21:21:00.000-08:002007-11-25T21:21:00.000-08:00Why are you guys so afraid?When I entered the US t...Why are you guys so afraid?<BR/>When I entered the US they took my fingerprints but I was OK because I had nothing to hide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230217292267896715.post-53240999094270770562007-11-25T10:52:00.000-08:002007-11-25T10:52:00.000-08:00Considering Tourism in the United States has falle...Considering Tourism in the United States has fallen by 30% and 100th of millions if not trillions of dollars have been lost due to the harsh "security" mesures which otherwise tourists would have spent in USA.<BR/><BR/>One can only assume the same thing will happen in Japan. It is in Japan's desire to have immigration as the declining population. Yet the foreign hostility is growing. Why? Why, is the Japanese government so self-deprecating and anti-effective?Lord Metroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474817646321789028noreply@blogger.com
