Rosenkavalier...
Your posts appeared online while I was writing my original, so to continue on my how difficult it would be to plant DNA evidence...
in your example of someone planting your hair at a crime scene - assuming all else is equal - there would still need to be sufficient cause/probable guilt for you to be a likely candidate, other than just your hair's presence.
The prosecutor would still need to come up with motive, opportunity, prior history, etc. So what, your hair's in the room - why did you bludgeon that 80 yr old woman with a hammer?
Your greater problem is that someone is actively trying to frame you for a horrible crime (itself a punishable offense) - not that your DNA is on some national databank.
Now again, if the feds are doing this as a matter of course (framing people for whatever reason) then the larger issue is that they're corrupt and evil. They're use of citizen's DNA is the least of it. If they didn't have the DNA as an excuse/tool, they'd just think of something else and send us off to the camps anyhow.
