CBS SciTech

There's a whole lot of interesting stuff on CBS News' SciTech recently. There's a web-based company offering the service of decoding a person's DNA. Think about the security risks here. I don't know how likely it is to be able to easily copy or fake someone's DNA, but just the thought of someone being able to access that data, seems scary to me.
