I don't see what the problem is. Why do you care if your DNA profile is sitting on a computer somewhere along with 300 million others?
If your DNA is never needed for anything, chances are no one will ever even look at it. And when some woman gets raped or a murderer's spit is found, all they would have to do is scan a genetic database to find the offender.

The only people who really have anything to lose from that would be those who would commit a crime and be identified through DNA.

So, keeping DNA alone has no real drawbacks. In the future new technologies that actually have some tangible effect on us might cause problems, but for now, nothing.
Maybe we'll have genetic drivers licenses someday?
