>Already, Britain is creating a national DNA database that would allow authorities to track people with violent predispositions. In addition, the government has also floated the idea of locking up people with personality disorders that could lead to criminal behavior.
I live in Britain and I've never heard of this, and it sounds very dubious at best. I think they might be referring to the national DNA database that is used to record the DNA of convicted criminals - so that they can be easily tracked should they escape or commit further crimes.
