"Nobody can “control” somebody else’s DNA just by possessing a sample of it. And if this can help get a national biometric ID system in place, I’m all for it. I’m tired of people committing all sorts of crimes, including vote fraud by both citizens and illegal aliens that steals my tax dollars and neutralizes my votes, by pretending to be someone other than who they really are. We have NO way of really determining who anyone IS, and that needs to change."

I'm with ya. In fact, I'd go beyond that and say that a tattoo on the arm would even be better. Scan the tattoo and you have instant verification. For more information on the effectiveness of tattoos, try here:

And the designations could all start with 666-

What does a tattoo have to do with biometrics? Any tattoo can be applied to anyone — it’s basically no different than ID cards and papers in terms of reliability.
