The FBI is preparing to accelerate the collection of DNA profiles for the government's massive new biometric identification database.
Developers of portable DNA analysis machines have been invited to a Nov. 13 presentation to learn about the bureau's vision for incorporating their technology into the FBI's new database.
So-called rapid DNA systems can draw up a profile in about 90 minutes.
The Next Generation Identification system, or NGI, the successor to the FBI's criminal fingerprint database, is designed to quickly ID crooks through facial recognition, iris matching, tattoo cross-checks and vocal recordings, among other unique traits.
But critics say aggregating DNA along with all this other data makes it easier for authorities to track the general population.
Various FBI divisions "are collaborating to develop and implement foundational efforts to streamline and automate law enforcement's DNA collection processes" including at arrest, booking and conviction, according to an Aug. 19 notice about the industry briefing. The ongoing groundwork is expected to facilitate the "integration of Rapid DNA Analysis into the FBI's Combined DNA Index (CODIS) and Next Generation Identification (NGI) systems from the booking environment."
CODIS is the government’s central DNA database.
"If you consider DNA to be a form of ID, and the Supreme Court has already upheld state laws that allow officers to stop someone and ask for their ID, then this is the logical next step," she added.
Tinfoil alert.
Dispose of your trash in such a way as to leave nothing tying the DNA to you. (Shred anything with your name and address on it.)

I thought having ID was racist, oh that is just election laws..
My goodness. Public figures with paternity skeletons in the closet could be so easily blackmailed by unscrupulous officers. Of course, that would never happen.
how is it that America succeeded so well for three centuries without all these recent new police state type systems and programs being imposed on us (without any significant public discourse or opportunity for citizen input, too)?
Technology can, and possibly will be, the end of freedom and liberty world-wide.
They’ll start to implement it where people have no choice but to comply, such as applying for a new passport. They will say it is for security reasons to fight terrorism.
KGB in the US, not such a far fetched idea anymore. Who is that kicking down your door at 3 in the morning? No Knock Dept. of Homeland Security just checking for possible illegal activity.
I refuse.
Sometimes I’m glad to be getting old.
Gattica lives!

Recently in NYC some “occupy” people were chaining subway gates open. It was somehow released that police swabbed the chains down for DNA. Over frickin subway fares!
Meh - they’ve had mine for years since I was in the service.
The Brits have been doing this for years. The USA just follows right along.
yup
Tinfoil?
Yet, this new identification system will be forbidden to be used for identifying voters.
