Where are you experiencing this ? I have not experienced personally this in South America or Europe. It is usually just the immigration who look at the passport and let you through once you say you're visiting or whatever
Japan. It went full 1984.
Interesting, I didn't have this experience a couple of years ago. I wonder if they've just upped it to try and "automate" things more with the crazy amount of tourism they're suddenly getting. Also I'd be curious on which airport you went to, Haneda or Narita?
If the scans and such were in the states, I've requested opting out and no one really cared, they just said okay. Funny enough, it actually made me go through quicker than it was taking everyone who did the face scans, contradicting the sign claiming it's quicker.
