Will there be an upsurge in tourists returning home minus fingers?

Now criminals will have to start cutting off fingers and use them as payment.
Grrrrreat!

Note to self:
Step 1: invest in fake fingerprint reading skimmers and micro 3-D printers for printing fake fingers with simulated blood flow (a lot of sensors will detect O2 counts as a cut the finger off countermeasure).
Step 2: sell to the Yakuza and other shady groups.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit

No, many of the new systems being rolled out will detect between “live” fingers and “dead” fingers.
You gotta lift someone’s prints and then use a 3-D printer to print a “Glove” with the victim’s finger prints on them, or make a fake finger with circulating fluid that simulates blood in it that you put the “3-D printed glove” over it.

Whether the mark of the beast or not, I don’t approve of government using biometrics or implants to track people. Government should not have that kind of power and cannot be trusted with that kind of power.

Pretty sure it doesn’t matter where it is, but when the conversation starts: ‘For your protection, the government has...’ usually means something awful is about to follow.
Fingerprint readers to protect a tiny minority of purchases and to save the 15 seconds it takes to hand over a passport.
Just another waste of government resources, an intrusion into private transactions, oh, and more expense.

Your fingerprint could be lifted from anything you touch (example: Antman defeating the fingerprint lock).
I envision a large market for gloves.

A fingerprint is not a mark you receive. You’re born with it.

I know you are being facetious, but crime in Japan is actually very low. Mainly because they tightly control who is allowed to immigrate.

NO, provided that they don’t join the Yakuza whle they are there and then do something stupid (Yakuza punishment for stupidity is cutting off fingers).

Doesn’t say how your fingerprint gets tied to your bank accountaccount or credit card account.

I go through a fingerprint device at 24hour fitness every time I go in. No biggie
