[ExI] Hacking the president's DNA

[Adrian Tymes]

They fail to make the case, though.  Even if some illicit groups
might get copies of the President's DNA, the only actual
benefit among those listed is monitoring over time - and if
there are major changes, it's probably too late.  Leaking the
DNA is unlikely to provide that much of a media storm (and
in any case, said leak would "justify" the need for more of a
police state - hardly something that recent administrations
object to), while red team/blue team testing can be done with
anyone's DNA.
