UAE Going To Far?

This was recently posted on the LATimes website that i found interesting. It seems the United Arab Emirates is going to become the first nation to create a database of all of their citizens DNA. Their proclaiming it to be crime deterrent but it seems peoples civil liberties are at stake. I personally think its wrong to do this because of the invasion of rights. No one should have access to our DNA unless we are frequent offenders of the law, anything else is just a crime.
