Jeremiah Knox: A Trail of DNA and Data

I think that Saffo would say that that technology shouldn't be outlawed, but it shouldn't be used to keep our identities secret. Saffo says that if we use DNA or fingerprints as pass codes for important information, then it will be a serious problem if a hacker gets a hold on that information. Hackers are more crafty than people give them credit for, and if they really try, then obtaining such information would be easy. And if a hacker gets a hold of that information, then it is public forever. At least with Social Security Numbers and bank account numbers, they can be changed if a hacker steals that information. One can't just change their DNA or fingerprints. They are with you until you die. Saffo says that because of these issues, that technology shouldn't be applied, but he never said anything about developing such technology.
