Japan has never been attacked by foreign terrorists and if such attack is likely it will happen overseas. Japan has been attacked by home grown terrorists. The introduction of fingerprinting is against the Japanese Constitution which affords protection to all peoples who are in Japan and not just Japanese nationals.

You're the perfect example to show how some Japanese are exploiting foreign workers, and then the foreigners get blamed and fingerprinted! Thank you!

I wouldn't say we're completely powerless, but from this comment it sounds like it would be almost impossible to get the decision changed anytime soon. <blockquote>Lim Young-Ki, a representative of the Korean Youth Association in Japan, pointed out how ethnic Koreans had fought for decades until the 2000 abolition of fingerprinting on Alien Registration Certificates only to see the process revived through the back door now.</blockquote> It'll never happen, but can you imagine how silly Japan would look if the US abolished its own US-VISIT program? There would be public outrage! The only reason this has been given the go ahead is because it's being done in the States, and that's supposed to make it okay. :???: Yeah, not even permanent residents can vote.

I haven't been to Debito's site before, and it has a good amount of information. There are an incredible number of people that are quite upset with the fingerprinting issue, but I doubt the government will consider repealing the issue anytime soon. How many of us non-Japanese can actually vote? Our displeasure means jack all to those in power right now. That said, if a bunch of natives stood up and said "We're tired of having a racist government", then it might get some attention. Either way, I'm okay with it for now. Ask me again if I have trouble re-entering the country, though :???: Thanks for the link, Nick. I haven’t been to Debito’s site before, and it has a good amount of information.

Arudou Debito said "In all my twenty years of Japan, I’ve never seen the NJ (Non-Japanese) communities so angry." If you don't know Debito, I highly recommend you take a look through his site, and you might be particulalrly interested in reading his post "<a href="http://www.debito.org/index.php/?p=774" rel="nofollow">Yomiuri & Nikkei trumpet 5 NJ snagged by Fingerprinting system. Sankei says FP system not snagger</a>" in which he says the 5 people "snagged" on the first day of fingerprinting, weren't actually caught by the fingerprinting machine itself, but by traditional means. Love your last paragraph. You are so right. Thanks Jason, it’s kind of sad that you’ve only just settled in Japan, and you get to experience a real low point for us foreigners.
