And to think, we were all already wearing "the Mark of the Beast" all along, without knowing it.

Everybody in Europe and the US should have their genetic fingerprints entered into an international database to enable law enforcement agencies to fight crime and terrorism in an unstable world, according to James Watson, the co-discoverer of the DNA double helix.

And this will help fight terrorism how?

And you are not getting a sample of my DNA without a court order.

Just as fingerprinting people does not really prevent crime, I strongly suspect collecting DNA will not prevent terrorism. Fingerprints allow us to track down criminals after the fact. DNA the same.

It's amazing to me the number of people who would abide infringement of individual rights, which are recognized and guaranteed by the Constitution, to avoid any perceived trampling of so-called group "rights," which are not.

If you want to stop terrorism perpetrated by Arabs and Muslims, you go after Arabs and Muslims, not a little old white lady knitting a sweater in her wheelchair. There is no reason whatsoever to collect her DNA.

In a previous life I did some work with these folks...

Genetic banking, at it's finest...

Key factors that will drive demand for FGT services include:

       Consumer requirements for privacy, security and control over personal genetic information

       The desire to understand the molecular basis of common diseases and variations of drug response and research to understand gene function

       A growing need for genetic education and counseling services        The need for secure, cost effective and integrated IT infrastructures and solutions

Hmmm I didn't realize theat Saudia Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Lebanon, where these 911 terrorists were bred were part of "Europe and the US."

But then I am sure he and I define terrorists differently.

This, the DNA database, could be a winner for law enforcement. After all, when lacking any hard evidence to convict someone, it's hard to plant finger prints; Easy to plant DNA.

Over my dead body. Or more accurately theirs.

Why not just have every single human in the world wear one of those ankle bracelets that transmits location to law enforcement agencies? That way the location of everyone, or anyone, could be made immediately available. Not only would it be a great crime fighting tool, but it would also assist victims of kidnappings and hikers who become lost. Why would anyone, who is not planning on criminal activity, have anything to worry about whatsoever? Do they have something to hide? What could possibly be wrong with agents of the local and state police, the FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, as well as the corresponding agencies in all other countries, and also Interpol, and UN and other international bodies, knowing where you are every second of every day? If it would save just one child's life...

"The sacrifice of this particular form of anonymity does not seem an unreasonable price to pay, provided the laws see to a strict and judicious control over access to public data," he said. "It would be harder to be a crook. If you want to make the criminal justice system more fair, what's wrong with it?"

. . .and what if yourGovernment becomes the 'crook'? The evildoer. . . What then?

One only has to look at the political landscape of the world and realize that 'good governments' are not a 'given'. The possibilities for those in power to do harm are easy enough without making us all so easily accessible.

Can only imagine Hillary or someother Left/Wing/Marxist Demrat taking control and just frothing at the mouth over the data banks available to them. . .and use them in the same spirit or worse than Clinton's abuse of our FBI files. .

Bad enough as it is; no reason to make it easier.
