It can be copied by more than just LEOs. Read all my posts and use your imagination. You leave your DNA *everywhere*. Literally. And anybody else has access to this. You shed skin cells, hairs, tinkle in public toilets, sneeze, cough, give blood samples at the doctors office, go to the dentist...use your imagination. Anyone in any of these places has access to your DNA. It's like identity theft...they don't steal *your* identity, they steal *a* identity. One that isn't theirs.

If I understand you correctly, you are pointing out that someone can plant your DNA in an attempt to incriminate you. I don't disagree with you on this point. It seems to me, howevever, that our legal system can deal with this problem without throwing out DNA evidence altogether. Without necessarily directing this next comment at you, many of the arguments in this thread strike me as variations on a theme that we should throw out the baby with the bathwater.
