> No need to turn this into a "my country is better than yours" pissing match

My apologies - that wasn't my intent.

I was trying to argue that border stuff is broken pretty much everywhere.



I agree, but there's different levels of "broken". The photography and fingerprinting is an egregious breach of privacy and dignity and surely puts the US (and Japan, btw) at the front of the pack in terms of just how broken the system is.
