And in actuality if they (cops, fbi, etc) really want your DNA it's extremely easy to get from any "discarded material" of yours. But that does cut down on the steps they have to take if they can just download the 23andme database.

In their agreement they say they will cooperate with law enforcement. I thought about doing it because of the health screening but that fact made me not go through with it.

You gotta be nuts to submit your dna to a private company to catalogue. Not only will there be leaks, but I'm sure if the cops say "Hey we need these DNA records to confirm something", 23andme isn't going to say "No thank you officers!" The implications of dna sequences becoming privatized itself is a weird thing to think about.
