# *Maryland v. King* and Government Abuse of DNA Tests 

The recent *Maryland v. King* decision revealed Antonin Scalia to be less of the opponent of individual liberties than his detractors would claim. In his dissent, he made clear that many supporters of broad DNA testing would like to use it to identify people not currently suspected of any wrongdoing. Cato Senior Fellow Walter Olson comments.
