UK DNA database and the war against spit

Lawrence Lessig recently observed a poster on a train in the UK reminding riders that spitting on railway staff is assault and that the UK's national DNA database will be used to track down offenders. I'm not sure that was the kind of offense that was pointed to when the database came into being, but shows how versatile that sort of info really is! See: Lawrence Lessig.
