even if (they) are still just making hay
the president sets both the domestic agenda
and foreign policy so President Trump is well
within his rights and constitutional mandate.
deep state dipshits and technocrats can
take a leap. no one elected them to do
shit but keep putting your asses on the
line as it is good detail to know fo sho.
Tipping point has likely already been reached
making it possible to triangulate back.
(They) should be moar specific about
what type of activity is being exploited
and the questionable purposes as
that would help validate concern.
One thing that it would do is make
it difficult for someone to pretend to
be someone they aren't and/or
operate in an area with impunity
and covertly.
Interdasting!
If not good for MIL what about civilians?
Also, which DNA services?
23&me is basically the goggle of the
DNA world.
Also, the military maintains database
of soldier's DNA since 70's so what is
done with that and how is it handled?

"But in 12 states, samples are kept in a biobank for 21 years or longer. That's because, increasingly, health departments are using—and sharing—the genetic information for research and analysis. This practice has accelerated since 2009, when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a contract to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) to establish a Newborn Screening Translational Research Network and develop a national repository of newborn DNA "stored by state newborn screening programs and other resources." Meanwhile California, Iowa, Michigan and New York already participate in a virtual repository, which allows researchers to access data—and in some cases the stored infant blood spots themselves—for their investigations."
"For instance, 23andMe, a consumer genetics company, will genotype your DNA and provide you with ancestry-related reports and raw data. Previously, 23andMe's reports included odds ratios for certain medical conditions. But in November 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibited the company from continuing to sell health reports, as they could not be "analytically or clinically validated." (The FDA's approval process for these reports is ongoing.)"
"In reality, a health report may just be the most enticing carrot 23andMe was able to dream up in order to get your DNA in its computers. As noted by the authors of an article in The New England Journal of Medicine, "23andMe has…suggested that its longer-range goal is to collect a massive biobank of genetic information that can be used and sold for medical research and could also lead to patentable discoveries." This characterization is not denied by 23andMe, which tells Newsweek, "The primary mission of our company is to accelerate genetic discovery."
"The real money, then, isn't selling you a health analysis; it's in using and selling your data for biomedical research."
Interesting ans well done article even if dated (from 2014).
