MR. CAPRON: Well, obviously if a person has a
sample, an anonymous or encrypted sample, from you and
finds out information about it and then later gets another
sample from you, a genetic fingerprint can indicate that
you were the source of the first sample. I totally agree
and that is something that raises a different issue about
genetics. I totally agree but that is dependent upon that
person getting another unencrypted sample.
DR. MURRAY: Get access to a state DNA
fingerprint database. I mean, they are -- and privacy -- I
mean, you probably know more about this literature than I

fingerprint bank at the moment, Tom?

aware of.
