So how much randomly-dropped DNA have you analyzed recently?

ive been watching the speed at which dna can be analyzed compared with the authorities that want to analyze it, such as airports.

its not out of scope to imagine that at some point they will just start accumulating large datasets from public places.

unlike publicly cracked password datasets, its not like we can just change our dna. its only a matter of time until its all accumulated into a single database most of us will be part of and those that arent will be easily triangulated with the natural relational format of the data.

if anyone really wanted your dna specifically, it could probably be easily obtained through your garbage, which in the US has zero expectation of privacy.
