By a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court has ruled that the police can forcibly take the DNA of suspects arrested for serious crimes and add it to a national DNA database. This supposedly does not violate the Fourth Amendment restriction on unsreasonable searches because DNA swabbing of inside the cheek is "not very intrusive." Yet if you stuck your finger into a stranger's mouth, you would be arrested...and presumably swabbed.
