Interesting development. All of you who were curious about "who you were" and did a home DNA test may now have your DNA shared with the FBI. I know, I know, not a big deal because I have nothing to hide. Well in the article is says that if just 2% of the population provided DNA, that would be enough to link to everyone. See your DNA links to everyone in your family, other relatives. Your DNA could lead the FBI to your 4th cousin twice removed in Utah. I know, I know, screw him, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Part of me say "What a cool crime fighting tool." part of me is afraid because society today tends to latch on to "technology" and not understand it can be wrong. 100% pre judged guilt.
Imagine if you will you are laying in bed watching......well what the hell does anyone watch late night anymore......when there is a knock on the door. ST Mary's finest and the FBI bust in and drag you out of bed and cuff you on a warrant for rape or something hideous for a Arizona warrant. The FBI got the arrest warrant because you matched up on the DNA with someone who did the test 4 years ago who was the illegitimate offspring of a crazy uncle no one talks about. Because DNA doesn't lie you are immediately guilty.
