Response to a letter, "Common protection and control"

Today, I write a response to this letter, “Common protection and control”. This letter talks about fingerprint and photograph of foreigners arriving at Japanese air ports.

First, the author of the letter, Hideo Kaito, talks about a purpose of fingerprint and photograph of foreigners. He says that the measure is not carried out to violate human rights and discriminate certain groups of people, but to protect people from danger. This statement is used to impress a good image of the measure on people. Also this statement says that people who are bothered are only people having done or are going to do something wrong, so it emphasizes that general people have no reason to care the measure.

At the last paragraph, he talks about common security and self-sacrifice. He insists that people have to sacrifice their some freedoms and rights in order to maintain common security. To say the statement, he asks people that which is more important whether personal rights or safety for people around the world. It is a question style, but he does not intend to give choice. He forces people to choose latter one because no one can invade a right of saving life of others’.
