Kuwait to test tourists' DNA before letting them into the country

Kuwait is taking homeland security to new heights later this year as the Persian Gulf nation will require its citizens, temporary residents and tourists to submit DNA samples to a $400 million security database.
Kuwait’s National Assembly passed the law in July last year, a month after an ISIS suicide bomber killed 27 people and injured 227 in the country’s capital.
According to Jamal al-Omar, a parliament member“We are prepared to approve anything needed to boost security measures in the country,The government will collect saliva and blood samples from anyone living there. Tourists will have to submit their own samples before entering the country.
Disobeying the law will cost you. Those who refuse to provide samples can face up to a year in jail and a $33,000 fine; falsifying DNA samples will result in seven years behind bars.
