TSA set to begin harvesting DNA at terrorist-run checkpoints

[rambone]

This summer, DHS plans to roll out a brand new device that will scan and screen citizens' DNA. Soon you may be required to bio-samples to government terror-hunters.

As technology progresses and improves, they want these devices to be used in "everyday medical and law enforcement situations."

And since the government has been taking DNA samples of newborns for decades, without your knowledge or permission, it is possible that your DNA is on file already in a government database.

This all reminds me a lot of one of my favorite movies, Gattaca.

Not without a warrant!

If you fly you get raped by TSA, If you drive you get raped by OPEC... what's a man to do?

Not without a warrant!

Technically all their searches should require warrants. Or probable cause.

But the constitution doesn't apply when we are fighting a WAR against boogeymen!

Just remember to arrive for your flight 2 days early so you can make it through the security on time.
Can't wait to see what people come up with to try to fool the machine.

What new industries can we develop from this idea?

Fake DNA samples
Trading safe DNA products
Fake body parts to get scanned so your real ID is not discovered.

I hope they don't scan me. Once they find out I'm part Cherokee, they will show up with an army to take my land and slaughter my family.

Before you know it you'll have to dress up as a large woman just to get by the airline Gestapo. Quaid was onto something.
