Vast DNA Bank Pits Policing Vs. Privacy
schwit1 writes "Today a Washington Post story discusses the vast U.S. bank of genetic material it has gathered over the last few years. Already home to the genetic information of almost 3 Million Americans, the database grows by 80,000 citizens a month." From the article: "'This is the single best way to catch bad guys and keep them off the street,' said Chris Asplen, a lawyer with the Washington firm Smith Alling Lane and former executive director of the National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence. 'When it's applied to everybody, it is fair, and frankly you wouldn't even know it was going on.'"
That doesn't make any sense--the bad guys are and always have been rapists and murderers. Sure, filesharers too--they are breaking the law, whatever you may think of the law.
The occasional book reader?? Please, save us your radical hysteria.
He did pay up front... with His Son Jesus.
