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.

How on earth you could you, the defendant, prove someone else planted your DNA? The whole basis of DNA databases is proving your innocence. The opposite of our form of justice.
