By the looks of it, 2006
It reads as
An Act to make provision for a national scheme of registration of individuals...
- does this mean it's a precursor act, with no real substance, just designed to lead into a full act for ID cards?

Think you're right ..... at least I hope you're right.
Big brother everywhere.
Got an e-mail at work the other day. I've been going to Japan regularly for 12 years now. Next time I go I have to be fingerprinted, photographed and interviewed before they'll let me in. Can't remember whether it said there would be a retina scan as well.
Refusal to comply means no entry. No choice but to accept this outrage because I have to go there for work.
So just for visiting I will have to give them the same "information" on permanent record as if I'd committed a crime.

.... so are you actually one of these foreigners that you periodically rant about then Peter?
BTW whichever passport, you'd still have to go through the same thing to get into Japan.

Why the hell would I want to go to Kamikaze land?
I normally use my Canadian passport in europe, I get the vat back (or rather I don't pay it)
When'd they sneak that one in!
