Do you do DNA geneaology? Might think again.

Also appears in other news sites .... Appears law enforcement is slurping up private DNA from geneaology sites ... those "where am I from?" kind of things.

If you play, you might be included in.

Just a heads up!

haha, yes i read that too ... and various other news sources talking about it.

i'd agree it is an issue and if i was younger i would be very concerned!

as an older guy i thought long and hard as they say before doing one of those tests ... but i decided to take the plunge, and it is very interesting what i discovered.

if i had my life ahead of me - i'd def think more than twice about sharing my genetic data with anyone. (who knows what happens in the future)

Even if you didn't share your own DNA data, law enforcement might still be able to track you down if enough of your relatives shared theirs.
