and yes, I understand that this is no where close to fool proof. (the 'unconstitutional' dealio is something I am not aware of, would need more info)

Problem 1 is privacy, more personal information and more copies of identifying data in the hands of more people; making it more available to identity thieves.
Problem 2 is that it is not fool proof, can provide false confidence.
Problem 3 is misinterpretation and gossip, which can harm a person's position, reputation and acceptance; often unknown to the person.
Problem 4 is that it is an "unreasonable search"; investigating someone who is not suspected, much less indicted, of anything.
Problem 5 is that it is penalizing/punishing people for other people's crimes/sins; totally anathema in a just, free society.
