Kuwaiti Government will DNA Test Everyone
There’s a new law that will enforce DNA testing for everyone: citizens, expatriates, and visitors. They promise that the program “does not include genealogical implications or affects personal freedoms and privacy.”
I assume that “visitors” includes tourists, so presumably the entry procedure at passport control will now include a cheek swab. And there is nothing preventing the Kuwaiti government from sharing that information with any other government.

How long would it take them to analyze a DNA sample and check it against the database? If it is more than a few minutes, they will have to analyze them after the person has left the airport.
