It seems the concern is that if a foreign power is suspicious that someone might be a spy, they can collect their DNA and run it against this database. If the spy's relatives are in the database, they will be flagged, and likely make it easy to deduce the true identity of the spy. This could then leave the spy in a compromised situation.
