AngryHarry submitted this article from the UK Independent, which states that the inventor of genetic fingerprinting, Sir Alec Jeffreys, believes that the benefits of collecting DNA information from everyone in the UK population would outweigh the drawbacks.

Wouldn't it be convenient for the government to have access to this information once these traits are determined more precisely? Source: The Independent [UK newspaper]
