Pentagon, scientists closing in on rapid DNA technology

“Researchers are closing in on the final steps of a new system to analyze human DNA in 90 minutes instead of the two to three weeks it now takes, according to interviews with Pentagon and industry officials.  Rapid DNA can be used for a variety of applications, including immigration, human trafficking, war crimes and natural disasters. Military units could track the DNA of suspected terrorists or militants in places such as Afghanistan to gain a better understanding of the ‘biometrics’ of certain populations.  Most government policies governing the use of [the national DNA database] go back to 1994 and the DNA Identification Act. That law did not anticipate rapid analysis.”
