Big Brother wants your DNA.

Senate bill considered to collect and store DNA information from those simply accused of a crime.

The worst part is this:

The provision, co-sponsored by Kyl and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tex., does not require the government to automatically remove the DNA data of people who are never convicted. Instead, those arrested or detained would have to petition to have their information removed from the database after their cases were resolved.

Why should the government's position be "You're innocent, but we get to keep your information unless you jump through the hoops"?

Shouldn't the default be set to "destroy the information unless the person is convicted"?
