The technology most definitely could be abused. I just don't see courts allowing it, and most definitely not forcing people to undergo a test.

Robert Maxwell,

The technology most definitely could be abused.

And abused egregiously. That in and of itself is a cause for concern.

I just don't see courts allowing it, and most definitely not forcing people to undergo a test.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but assuming the most cynical likelyhood, if it's sufficiently accurate, and it passed the Daubert standard for admissibility, the court might actually sign off on it. It would effectively be the new DNA.
