DNA Dragnet
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2001-06-04/dna-dragnet
In several cases across the country, criminal investigators have solicited voluntary DNA samples from large numbers of people in an attempt to get a match to DNA collected from a crime scene. The process has had limited success, but civil liberties advocates say t's a violation of Constitutional rights. A panel talks about the benefits and drawbacks of the so-called "DNA dragnet."
