Did you read the original article? The whole point of this discussion is the legislation they want to pass will let the police take samples without a warrant. This means they can just make you a suspect, collect the DNA and record it, nothing you can do about it. That's the part I object to.
I agree with Skybird as well. Once the data exists it is at risk of being stolen. It happens all the time. You can't tell me you don't see the stories about data comprimises. Add to that, the corporate risk. Eventually the corporations will use their influence to get the data legally. That scares me more than hackers do.
