The problem isn't that other people have access to it, but that it's personally identifiable to you while it's still out on the curb.

- mikeash 9y agoThat’s a choice you make, though. If you have sensitive garbage, you can dispose of it by other means.
- lifeformed 9y agoBut there's a reasonable expectation that people won't dig through your garbage to find one of your hairs and find your DNA info. It doesn't seem fair to expect someone to make sure their garbage is DNA-free.
- mikeash 9y agoYou only have to do that if you don’t want your DNA to be in there. It doesn’t make sense to me to say that police can’t examine literal trash left in the street.
