I don't see the difference in fingerprints or DNA. Both can be collected painlessly and you don't get ink on you from DNA. A joke, a joke!!

If they can legally obtain fingerprints now there is already a precedent for collecting unique identifiers at the point of arrest, guilty or not. They also take your photo when they book you, yet another identifier. Science continues to make the identifiers better. The Patriot Act continues to take away our civil liberties. What else is new?
