"Under a revised immigration law -- part of Japan's effort to prevent terrorism occurring in Japan -- all entering foreigners would be fingerprinted and photographed, the Immigration Bureau spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity, as per bureau regulations. Individuals designated as terrorists could be refused entry and expelled, the spokeswoman said. The ministry is working with other government agencies and ministries to create a list of suspected terrorists."
