So, to continue today's email flood, one thing I've been thinking about,
as it pertains to cyberweapons, is of course, the original information
virus of them all: DNA.

First of all, I think it's pretty clear databases exist that are wide
enough and complete enough (and covert enough) that a complete family
tree of almost everyone in certain regions exists. Likewise, I'm pretty
sure you (for certain values of "you") can take any given DNA sample and
back-port it to a picture of that person.

DNA databases are almost by definition hugely scary. I don't know if
they qualify as "cyber weapons" in and of themselves, but they're close.
