Okay, now I’m booking a ticket. Although the actual brass and drum part would be annoying….

And the old “I haven’t done anything wrong so why should I worry” adage is rather naive, for two reasons. One is the principal that the less information about you that other people (especially governments and large organizations) have the better. Information is power, after all.

And also the fact that while you might not have done anything wrong under present law, what if the law changes? Then they already have your information to use as they like. To give a simple example: Government A collects info of library usage – who gets out what books. A benign statistical survey to determine literacy and funding rates for libraries. Then certain books are determined to be bad, and the government wants to know who is reading them. Your name pops up, and the next thing you know you’re on a no-fly list as a potential terrorist.

I find it rather amusing to give my fingerprints . I haven’t done anything wrong, and if anyone (Japanese, Korean) thinks that they would catch Osama by fingerprinting people, lets cooperate.

Blu ray however, is the same region code. And loads cheaper then .jp

And I did have a nice day in Lotte world. The only downside were the many Loteria burger joints. The plus side was the all girl hot pants wearing brass and drum band parading through the park

1) Their governments might abuse the data to spy on dissents or even come up with fake evidence to land people in jail.

2) Their information security is questionable.

This is in Lotte world in Seoul.

An other plus is they have also opened a Fugetsu store in Seoul.

Depends. There are countries that are willing to receive immigrants and those that are not and feel uncomfortable with them. I would say, to those that feel uncomfortable adopt the biometric system and be done with it, specially Korea that has many poor countries around it.
