Well, this will really speed up things at an already slow Narita


I don't know why that will be the case. Right now everyone is
interviewed by an immigration officer anyway. You take 5 more seconds
to look into a camera, and put your finger on an optical reader.


I've never been interviewed by on there. Simply stamped my passport
and move me on. Is this a one time thing or do you have to do this
each time you enter?
