Starting today: --clip-- "Japan starts taking fingerprints and photographs of foreigners entering the country from today to catch terrorists, who Justice Minister Kunio Hatoyama says are beating immigration controls using false passports and disguises." And later: "Japan's version, which shares a U.S. database of suspected terrorists and criminals, may cause delays at immigration at Narita, which is as long as 90 minutes away from central Tokyo, Narita International Airport Corp. President Kosaburo Morinaka said in an interview on Nov. 5."
