Japan gets tough on terrorism

From the Aeroflot website:

JAPAN INTRODUCES NEW RULES FOR ENTER THE COUNTRY

Dear passengers!

The airline company "Aeroflot" would like to inform you that according to new requirements of the Japanese air authorities conditions of immigration control upon arrival will be changed since November 2007. The Ministry of Justice of Japan amended the "Law on immigration control and refugee status" to prevent terrorist threat.

After coming of the law into force all foreign residents will have to leave their fingerprints and be shot (full face) while passing immigration control at the airport of arrival.

Think I'll cancel my New Year's in Japan trip...
