My prediction: as soon as "DYI Bio" begins to have any real-world impact (or gets enough publicity), it will be banned/heavily regulated, at least within the US. It is too easy to come up with alarming scenarios if an accident happens or if the technology gets misused (which fits in very well with the current anti-terrorism rhetoric). Also, many corporations will not welcome the lack of control over some of the technology that a successful DYI Bio movement would bring, so they will lobby for "protection".
