In a 2002 op-ed, Ahkil Reed Amar spoke out in favor of a establishing a DNA database of all citizens. The Yale Law School professor wrote that such a database would be useful for reviewing the fairness of the criminal justice system. And if we're all in the database, we'll all have a vested interest in seeing that our information is treated fairly and our privacy concerns respected. That'll work.
The op-ed is cited in a 2009 "profile" of the current state of DNA profiling by Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University. You wonder if the day will come when all detective work is done in labs. And while you wait and wonder, let's take a cheek swab. Open wide.
It's all wide open. Until it's open and shut.
