I get the feeling that a big slice of that remaining 1000 still wouldn't be identified even if they were genetically sampling at birth. Simply because the kind of person who ends up as an unidentified body in the U.S. is less likely to start out being born in a hospital, or being born in the U.S. at all.

Sure, but that's still a human tragedy - there are probably people out there who would like to know that their loved one has deceased.
