As for fingerprinting military personnel, I'm not sure. Emily - I know it’s still happening, but from the people I know who have gone through the process, it isn’t a big deal.

And they don't fingerprint those who's there for military duties right? My bf and I are going to move there soon and seems like I might have to get one but does he? Just wondering that's all, thanks Steve! Wow that’s kind of crazy…are they still doing that do you know? And they don’t fingerprint those who’s there for military duties right?

I doubt the treatment will be efficient as I always have to wait long queues when I arrive in Japan. Japanese whizz by trough the gates while we are attended by clearly too few policemen... Why dont they get Japanese to get naked to see how many have got tattoos? Maybe it would be better for Japan to forbid foreigners to enter the country...

I wish we did something like this in the US, seriously the borders are out of control. Great article…I can see how finger printing and gathering other identifying materials can be helpful.

Can't say I blame them. when I lived in Japan I suffered alot of harrassment from police officers, mostly related to the light on my bicycle being dysfunctional. They were kind of nice but went out of their way to keep me in their police station until my Japanese roomate was able to clear up any suspicion of thievery. -The Aesthetic Poetic http://www.theaestheticpoetic.com/ Interesting.
