This is today's article
Today I want to talk about the article.
The article is about fingerprinting. Japan has decided to start a new measure that takes every visitor's fingerprint to Japan in order to prevent evil terrorists from coming to Japan .
Justice ministry decided to set up the measure. It takes place on November 20.
My opinion
I think taking fingerprints are not that big a deal considering you can survive from a terrorist attack only by doing such a easy procedure. Just think about you being in the world trade center and such a big plane coming to the building and ending up being dead. If you truely do not want such a tragedy to happen ever, you'll naturally do not think such a simple procedure is against human rights or anything. I fact, America started taking fingerprints right after 9/11. However it provoked controversy. I'm not saying that caring about human rights is an unreasonable idea at all. But if you do not want to be one of those victims,you’ll naturally think taking fingerprints is a pretty good idea.

What makes you think that taking fingerprints could have prevented the terrorist acts on 9/11? I don't think there is any relation between taking photos and fingerprints and preventing terrorism at all. This is what the government says publicly, which means I'm suspicious of it.
What about the bid for the contract?

This whole case is pretty fishy, and I don't think the government is telling the truth about why this is going on.
The US does not fingerprint and photograph people with work visas or green cards. I have been in Japan all of my adult life, have my family here and own a business. I pay a lot in taxes. Why do I have to be treated like a criminal? Seems like it's time to consider Singapore or Hong Kong as a better place to do business.
Sorry, I think that link got a bit messed up. Please read it, you'll see what I'm saying about the government not being honest.
