    Japan is doing this because of an increased threat from North Korea, which has been making rumblings and sent a missile over Japanese airspace not so long ago. Also they are getting increasingly concerned about China, which has been bulking up its naval presence; this is also leading to a growth in right wing sentiment in Japan. They also put a contingent of troops on the ground to support the US in its middle east adventurism. And finally the Japanese are notoriously xenophobic, they don't like foreigners, which explains a lot of their fixation on robots - you don't need cheap foreign labour to do the grunt work if you can just automate it.

    Excellent couple of points there.

    Japan has started to finger print and photo all visitors, I dont get why people care, They are looking for terrorists i dont see why anyone would care about a backround check being run on them because if anyone can suggest a reason why you would not want a backround check on you because i cant think of a reason why i wouldent want one.

    I dont see the problem and wanted to get a general idea, thats why i posted here instead of politics because you are not allowed to post polls there and allot of people on AH would vote

    What's AH?

    Dont care. Ive nothing to hide. Why the fudge anyone would want my identity is a mystery but if someone stole it sure it'd be a funny story to tell down the pub i guess. If marketers get it, what of it? They might sell me something i want? If i dont want it i wont buy it. Dont see how me just being another name on a list of millions of people would matter a ****

    With respect ,I dont think that is a valid example. Terrorism is the term coined by an Occupying force,a valid Government etc against people or groups that attack or destroy that institution whether internally or from another country .In Hitlers case it was all out war .I stand to be corrected on the exact definition of course.
