It's not the motivated adversary I am worried about, who actually has to show up where I have physically been. It is the company on the other side of the world in a country with lax legislation, profiling me based on the data I 'shed' online, like a cloud-based DNA sequencing service.

This is my threat model for most things in life. If someone is physically targeting me, I'm fucked. I'm more worried about limiting the casual long-distance attacker since I have more ability to stop them.

If someone steals my DNA I can't stop them. But I can at least avoid being swept up in large scale DNA scanning and tracking efforts.
