The majority analogized that taking a DNA sample is no more intrusive than taking a fingerprint or booking photo. As police don’t go around spuriously arresting people to collect fingerprints I don’t know that we have any particular grounds for worry here.

There’s no ‘industrial’ benefit gained from giant databases of fingerprints. Just wait till the cops have financial incentive to sell that DNA information.

DNA sampling and typing make fingerprints nearly obsolete.

Besides, can a fingerprint reveal:

• Gender?
• Heredity?
• Disease propensity?
• Drug usage?
• etc, etc.

And that's not the first step. The first step is the population of a DNA database...which the SCOTUS just opened the floodgates to.
