   Sorry, not going to change a thing as far as security goes.  If they want to   
   retaliate, oh well.  And, of course, Brazil showed their asses with that   
   one, making things far worse than they are in the U.S. for finger printing.

   Japan will at least be more efficient with their system.   
      
   As I said.  Their country.
