Recently Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) had Dr. Stephen Hsu, a genetic testing expert, on his podcast. Dr. Hsu has a startup aimed at cutting the cost of testing of genetic crime scene evidence by about 90%. He said that there are 100,000 rape kits going back more than a decade in backlog for DNA testing around the United States.

100,000...

RAPE kits...

... that state and local governments haven't had the budget to test.

And somebody thinks they'll send off paint for analysis for a fender bender?
