Yeah.  Significant opportunities for the full employment generation in 
that proposal.  They can put scanners at every train station, conbini, 
and office building to keep track of us.  Then they can appoint some 
madogiwazoku to stop us after we've walked through a scanner and read 
our personal data off a screen to "verify" us.  Maybe a few people with 
hand carried scanners like Toden ladies in their little pink and grey 
uniforms and caps to stop us on the street and scan us to make sure 
we're not overstaying.

The big problem will be walking through a warehouse and not being 
recorded as 15 pallets of toilet paper or a shipment of frozen shrimp.
