I’m on several. Social security, the draft, etc.
Point is the search methodology required has so far been worth it to catch one person. That person was a serial rapist and murderer. Hardly compelling.

Lists you are on contain information that can be modified, updated. I lived at A? I move to B. You can’t change your DNA and if that would be abused, that would be much,uch worse than social security info
