I am flattered by your curiosity, but, no, I am not Russian. I am Greek; my people have been generating conspiracy theories, both with and without any kind of logical support, since long before the very existence of the Rus.

In fact, my people were instrumental in generating the image of Russians as being conspiracy-minded. For example, Ivan the Terrible, a poster child for conspiracy theories taken to an extreme, and who lived a real Greek Tragedy of a life, actually was part Greek. His grandma was Zoe Paleologos, niece of the last Greek Byzantine Emperor.

A shared grandma, perhaps?

Looking at the TSA situation from various positions is important... I don't think dna damage is as intentional as it seems - more like 'men of action' wanting to DO SOMETHING... Men of action (as opposed to 'men of thought' - often overlook the unintended consequences. This might be a classic case of that. If so, your musings - brought up early - could shine a light on that situation. Maybe in time to prevent future problems.... Thanks for an interesting post.
