Kuwait to take travelers DNA samples later this year

I think this is horrible. Lets see if people will elect to still travel there.  I won't be for sure.

Nor will I, Rob (not that it was on my list, in any case, so no loss).  And we thought the full-body scanners were invasive!

You've seen Florida sand in abundance Rob.

No need to see it all again.

This is amazingly creepy.  Perhaps they want to run genetic profiles on their visiting guests -- things that might tell them if they have, say, a Jewish heritage.  I don't think the Kuwaiti monarchy has any idea of how most people will react to such a test, but they also might not care.
