Pathetic they can get millions to militarize the police, or a super high tech bomb squad vehicle/robots/xrays to investigate a bunch of abandoned suitcases, but they are suddenly poor when it comes to financing something that could actually save lives.

in the case where, say, a serial rapist/killer hasn't been caught, there can be a backlog of untested DNA from other crime scenes that may identify the suspect, but haven't been tested because of the backlog.
