DNA Screening of every newborn
In April of 2008, President Bush signed into law S.1858 which allows the federal government to screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S. This was to be implemented within 6 months meaning that this collection is now being carried out. Congressman Ron Paul states that this bill is the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database.

No worries. Bush is keeping America safe. Notice how there has not been a terrorist attack in 7 years? Because he is smoking them from their caves and putting them on the run. This DNA vault will help track future terrorists that wish to do us harm.
In the end: this is a good thing.

Couldn't they concievably track down adults using this database? By putting thier Children/Nieces/Nephews/Cousins/Grandkids in this database they could track down family lines in cold cases they have DNA for I'd imagine.
But then again if these babies have nothing to hide they won't put up a fuss. /sarcasm
