- The term "DNA profile" is misleading. They would almost
- certainly keep DNA samples for two reasons.
- 1) There is no standard "profile" now.
- 2) The ability to extract information from DNA increases over time.
- They don't want to have to ask for additional samples.

- This was discussed at the Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy
- II in the "WHO'S IN YOUR GENES?" session.
