A Trail of DNA and Data
I think that Saffo's response would be one that says that the technology is not necessarily the problem, but that it is the people who misuse it that are the problem. He does not specifically think that the technology itself should be outlawed, but there should be certain restrictions on how it is used. He would argue that the public should not have access to this technology or be able to use it for their own means. This is how it would be misused for personal advantage or identity theft. I think that Saffo realizes that the technology will "get out there," but he thinks that it should only be used in certain ways, by certain people.

I agree that Saffo is saying that he knows technology will "get out there", but if the restrictions are set, then they can avoid the kinds of fraud that he implies. If the restrictions are not for public use, but only government use, this could help. He knows that the technology exist and he is aware of what will happen. He wants others to know that when this technology goes to the public, then it could be very dangerous.
