I agree, but they are choosing a dead end path:

whoever wants to know where they are can sample DNA from as many relatives as possible, surreptitiously.

Nanopores can be made with dielectric breakdown of a thin piece of etched wafer.

Low input current noise op-amps can be used to measure the nanopore signal.

A dedicated skip tracer will find you through environmental DNA.
