| As far as I can tell, if you visited my home today it is legal for me to
| slyly snatch an "abandoned" sample of DNA from you (from the lip of a cup, a
| fallen hair, etc.), sequence it in full, and publish your DNA online for the
| world to read. Of course I wouldn't do that, but in April 2008, a seller on
| eBay peddled the remains of Barak Obama's restaurant breakfast claiming
| that "his DNA is on the silverware."
