I look forward to the day that DNA identification might be near instantaneous. I like that my identity could be confirmed conclusively and quickly (implying that an imposter could be confirmed to be an imposter the same way).

This could be abused, of course, in the same ways that your fingerprints could be planted or your driver's license stolen, but that's a different set of crimes to be managed in a different way. But this will likely never happen (instant DNA identification) because of privacy concerns. Heaven forbid that you should ever have to actually prove who you are, to vote for instance.
