I was told this concern was simply avoided by putting an alias you know on the sample package sent. As really you are the only one that knows whose DNA you are sending in. I'm not criminally minded and already have low level security clearance form work with FEMA but still its what can be used in the future and the fact I think there are many possible uses that aren't covered under current laws that can rightly scare one. Unfortunatly I think to get through one family line DNA is going to be the only way to have a shot as I've hit the great wall of Kentucky/Tennessee on my surname. There's plenty out there but one one connects to me though any known paper lines and even some have tried while working on expanded trees and still get stopped.
