Trying to decide if I should pull the lever for a DNA analysis kit....

24. Well, in a previous job....

...I was tasked with ID verification, we wanted to improve what we had for money laundering. Met with several vendors and let me say, privacy laws here in the USA are bullshit. Some of these vendors worked in the USA but incorporated in places like Estonia and not subject to certain laws. Major eye opener, that's when I realized I had no expectation of privacy.

In the case of DNA and tracing your roots, it started as an interesting idea, but invariably, the Execs get greedy and start looking for ways to profit even more. We don't have many laws here in the USA guarding your DNA data as law enforcement has used these companies to find suspects when stumped. I would imagine an offshore company would give you even less protection. Which is too bad, I'd really like to find out how much of which part of the old Russian Empire I'm comprised of.

And of course, "you got nothing to hide". Do you? You don't know that for certain, one night stand after a drunken bar run and you find out you have a kid. And suddenly, you get sued. Some shady cousin of yours does something, and the police are interrogating you. No thanks.
