Tagging Intruders with DNA
Jun-10-13
The DNA fog tagging system from Applied DNA Sciences can mark an intruder without their knowledge, making it easier for police to identify them later. DNA marking has already been in use by law enforcement agencies, with the most common use being to mark persons of interest at riots. The new system is a bit more general, and is meant to help stop and identify an intruder. Called DNA Fog, the device will fill a room with smoke and DNA-loaded droplets when triggered by a break-in. More than just confuse the intruder, the DNA will mark them for later identification if they are caught.
The DNA sequence can be altered, so each building or business can have their own unique code, if desired.

I received a demonstration of a fog deployment security system and it was very impressive! Having now added a DNA trace element makes these types of security products a must for commercial security applications! You can also find forensic based home and family protection devices that are designed to ease the fear of residential burglary.

I hope the method has been evaluated for safety because anything that integrates into DNA has the potential to cause genetic problems. Secondly, it would be interesting to know the half-life of the active ingredient to avoid the tagging of innocent people who may be the first to get to a burglary site. Otherwise a brilliant concept
