swabs are for DNA.

I agree - DNA collection was the purpose of the roadblock.
The other purpose for DNA collection is for the biometric national ID that is in the immigration bill.
In another article it mentioned they wanted to find out if people were using over the counter medications which tells you they can get a lot of info from these samples.
In this article posted above now has a video. It says that “saliva and blood samples were not DNA samples” . Really ?

is being conducted at 60 sites across the country" - total of 60 or 60 that day?
If drivers refused to give samples, they were allowed to drive away - were their license plates recorded and were the drivers' and passengers' pictures taken?
Similar studies were conducted in 1973, 1986, 1996 and 2007 - DNA swabs were used out in the middle of nowhere roadblocks in 1973? Riiight.
From your second link:
Anyone who stopped at one of four roadblocks - so, they can't get their stories straight on it being 4 or 60 roadblocks. Must be that IRS counting where 2 really means a hundred.
participants got money in return - the samples were legally sold by the driver to the government. Done deal. No reset button. No do overs.
It was actually one of the assistants that took the swab - IOW, it wasn't one of the "off duty deputies" who were getting outside pay so who was this "assistant" really working for because this certainly doesn't fall under the normal National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration duties.
over the county or prescription medication you take how many times a day do you take it. Do you drink alcohol. Do you drive after drinking - yet this sheeple never questioned the questioners why some OTC throat spray she might have used last winter had anything to do with her driving that day.
