Kuwaiti Government will DNA Test Everyone

Posted on by

There’s a new law that will enforce DNA testing for everyone: citizens, expatriates, and visitors. They promise that the program "does not include genealogical implications or affects personal freedoms and privacy." I assume that "visitors" includes tourists, so presumably the entry procedure at passport control will now include a cheek swab. And there is nothing preventing the Kuwaiti government from… Continue reading Kuwaiti Government will DNA Test Everyone→
