    Yesterday was the 20th anniversary celebration of the Emperor’s reign, and today Barack Obama will be coming to Japan. Japanese police have been on high alert for security threats, as this video clip shows:

    A team of police divers checked the imperial moat for dangerous objects, while other police spray-painted manhole covers to make it easier to check if any terrorists have attempted to access the sewage system. It would also appear that pay phones have been shut, since they might be used in some evil way.
