    It isn't too far from the truth/future I'm sure. There will eventually be laws passed that will allow a huge database of DNA matched to records of people that both have and have not committed a crime, especially in the US if/when we're under Republican rule again. Once that law has gone into effect, newborns will probably be swabbed at birth and the rest of us will be swabbed the next time we register to vote.
