My initial reaction is that, while I can see ways that this could be abused (e.g.., running analyses on DNA that might indicate medical information that could be used as evidence, or could be leaked to employers, etc.), it's hard for me to argue with the basic metaphor of DNA testing as being similar to taking fingerprints (and sending them off to other agencies to see if they match other open crimes).<\/p>\n

The ruling was 5-4. Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative, joined \u00a0\u2026\n <\/p>\n
