DNA "Genetic Patdown" Introduced to Airports by DHS

DNA "Genetic Patdown" Introduced to Airports by DHS: "A new level of invasive screening is scheduled for airports this summer: a portable DNA scanner to conduct on-site, real-time genetic testing.

This technology is being implemented under the cover of combating human trafficking, illegal immigration, and finding missing persons, but Richard Seldon of NetBio, creator of the scanners, clearly states that 'DNA information has the potential to become part of the fabric of day-to-day life.' In an interview with Katie Drummond who broke this story for The Daily, Seldon envisions additional applications in emergency rooms, food safety tests, and law enforcement."
