Being involved in energy production, international travel, along with my "spoon" hobby, I have had several FBI background checks. My fingerprints are all on file. Most recent set was for a TWIC card for working in refineries around the ports. - Full finger prints.

Knowing the issues with third parties holding data, and the lax requirements by the US governement to get third party data, I store my data on local servers. As the DNA industry was getting started, I always thought that information would be easily available with a simple warrant. And since it is held by a third party, there is no pesky need to inform YOU that your data was collected.

Nope, not going to voluntarily give my DNA data to a third party, who will then keep it on file.
