    Word is that they are bleeding O.J. dry to make sure that the database is very very large.

    Hey Clinton, better call that chick in Santa Barbara and make sure she washes her dress, and the sheets. Might as well start making calls all up and down the West Coast. It is going to be a long night: you can be sure that Ken Starr read Slashdot too, and he's going to be on this real quick.

  3. The Beast Turns Inwards ... by leoaugust · · Score: 3, Funny

    Me thinks it is pretty fair. After the decision to fingerprint almost "everyone" visiting the US, it is just fair, and actually just a matter of time before the Beast Turns Inward. "I think people have come to understand that an increase to security is necessary," said U.S. Homeland Security spokesman Bill Strassberger.

    The Govt can keep the DNA of felons in a Central Database, but the rest of the citizens should be motivated to carry their DNA/Fingerprint ID card just in case they have to prove their identity when there is a security situation. The threat level is already at ORANGE and who knows what will happen when it turns RED !! People WAKE UP ! In fact, for your own protection you can already buy ID cards for the family that will store you DNA and fingerprints. These fingerprint and DNA identification cards are great for all families. Be prepared and have that vital identification information that may be needed in an emergency situation. Like when the threat level goes to RED !

    Also NCSE provides DNA and Fingerprint Kits either for bulk sales or for use with our e-learning software or Child ID Kits.

    FOR YOUR SAFETY Please Order one TODAY ! With your order please give my referrer code ref??###R@D@=sarcastic.

    AGAIN, EVERYONE ! PLEASE ORDER YOUR DNA/FINGERPRINT ID CARDS TODAY !!! Don't Wait!!!!!! Make that life changing phone call today !!!!!!!!!
