I saw a piece of Bourne Ultimatum last night where Jason's fingerprints were planted to implicate him.

This had me thinking about one of my daughters, who saves her first hair & fingernail cuttings in a place she calls her "DNA Box". Maybe I've read and viewed too many mysteries and CSI episodes.

I'd be intrigued to hear thoughts on this:

Isn't there going to come a day in the near future when criminals and/or politicians purchase DNA to leave at crime scenes, or to free guilty parties from prison? How can this be circumvented, prevented, rectified? Or can it?
