CSI drives parents to store kids' DNA

[Steve Everist]

After seeing this headline, I was just going to bypass reading the article altogether. But for some reason I decided to take a look to see what it had to say.

Although I don't know that it was intended as such, the fingerprint content seems to subtly cast a negative light. I think it's more because of what wasn't stated than what was:

"We've been doing a lot of child fingerprinting, but that's not always a reliable means of identification," Wagner said.

Joe Polski, chief operations officer for the International Association for Identification, said he would not use the kits but he would not discourage them.

I think there should have been some more information included to explain these statements. The rest of the article can be found at:
