Safer Korea in 2010? Fingerprinting foreign nationals, was it a good idea or not?

Following U.S and Japan immigration system, Korea's Justice Ministry would probably revise its immigration policy requiring all foreign visitors to submit their respective biometric fingerprint data upon entering the country. This new law is most likely to be implemented by 2010.

Does this mean we need to face even longer queue lines at the immigration? How safe is our personal information from identity theft? Does this Fingerprinting policy covers all foreign visitors regardless of their visa status?

I just hope that this fingerprinting system will be advantageous and beneficial to everyone!
