In the mind of the public a fingerprint is a positive ID. We've seen Columbo and Kojak, whatever city CSI and America's Most Wanted. Facts are though that the fingerprint is not a positive ID. There are several standards used in different states. There is some solid science. We live, we learn. Now we got DNA. Wooooo. Heavy science. Described by words you never heard before. It's new, improved. The public convicted O.J. at the mere mention of DNA. Having a DNA data base is scary, especially one obtained in this way. I too am not willing to give up liberty for professed security, much the same way I am against the no call list.
