Came here to mention that same article. The more important point, to my view, is that the DNA we shed doesn't necessarily stay put.
DNA transference, law enforcement access to large DNA databases, familial matching, and advances in extracting DNA from trace samples make for a scary combination. Lukis Anderson was damned lucky that the person who inadvertently transferred his DNA to a crime scene could be identified.
