    Not really… this info can and is being used in solving crimes. That and, if the US government ever turns into a dictatorship (hello trump!) then you won’t have to worry of being put on a list, you are already on one.

      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
