Did you read my post. They have a prototype that can do a gene ID in 30 minutes from a handheld device. We have mobile crimelabs.
We had a pretty good idea going in that it was OBL there with his wife and kids. We sort of perhaps considered that we might want to know ASAP if it was him using DNA.
Maybe somebody thought ahead. It is the CIA. It shouldn't be dismissed from possibility - and it is certainly possible if they thought ahead that they might want a DNA identification.
Seeings as how his sisters DNA was ‘on hand’ to compare it with, computer file or physical, I would imagine the equipment to test his DNA went with it.
But really, I only did this for a living for a year ten years ago, and I am sure the technology has just sat there....
Oh no, wait; an article from two years ago says a guy has a handheld device that can do it in 30 minutes!
Oh yea, I think I saw that mobile crime lab hitched to the rear of one of the Blackhawks.
There exists prototypes for all sorts of wonder stuff, highly doubtful any kind of junk like that would be carried into a night assassination attempt on foreign soil.
Wow, a whole year working as a lab tech somewhere, I am duly impressed.
