Geneology groups using DNA for FBI

[Nealithi]

Okay so I came across this article today

And it said there is debate about all the privacy issues and so forth. But it did not seem to go into what the issues are. So I thought I would bring it up here and try and get a clearer picture of the issue.

I have yet to find something I am absolute for or against. So being clear I think in concept this is a good idea. But thinking on it I do have one or two concerns. How close to matching does this company use? Why without warrants? Because in the case of the deceased girl, how is scanning their files for a match different that trying to match her face to available photographs at say a local school? Do they need a warrant to look through the yearbook?

What are your thoughts?

I guess it's like the social security numbers. Technically they're just a plain number that's associated with your name. It doesn't have any exposing non-generic information about you, yet it's complex enough to be unique, more so than a picture.

I honestly suspected as much, which is part of the reason I never would do one of those tests myself.
