So? They still need a warrant. This is a silly article.
I wonder if they look for criminal matches on all samples sent in. That would really be scary and they could be doing it now or NSA could have hacked their data base.
“So? They still need a warrant.”
They can’t give what they don’t have. There’s something even more insidious about the “agreement” with these outfits. They can sell your DNA to insurance and Big Pharma. You consent to that as a requirement of doing business with them.
They can patent your genes or check for a predisposition to certain conditions or diseases and price or deny you coverage based on the results.

Hackers don’t need one.

My reaction, as well. Read the entire article, and it turns out to be merely anther “made up” reason for fear.
I have provided my DNA to 2 testing companies. My sister and my mother have, as well.
The science is entirely solid. The relations that were provided to them were accurate, and interesting.
A recent technology called “rapid dna” is used to identify battlefield remains, so we can honor our fallen heroes.
DNA is used to exonerate suspects, as well as to convict them.
DNA for medical purposes is moving very fast. My wife’s SIL just had a cancer surgery, is undergoing chemo, and they used DNA testing as part of their methodology.
