Oh, I have been pissing and moaning all over the house for months about this;
she's definitely in on it. And I made sure to talk to Seiko's office assistant
guy after she'd left, and he also said he'd written it down and will remind her
to check it out.

I'm not going to turn into a Debito and alienate everybody, but I am determined
to at least make one person understand how unfair this entire thing is.
Thank-you letter and follow-up. Noted. Thanks.

My claim included not only the "fingerprint/photo once and forget it" for
visitors thing, but also included the opinion that people who have already been
authorized to live here permanently -- by the same government that is
implementing this ridiculous policy -- should not have to be treated like
temporary visitors, over and over, forever. It's bad enough I have to purchase
permission to re-enter the country at 3000 yen a pop already.
