A member of the House Intelligence Committee warned Americans not to use DNA testing services as the information could be used to develop bioweapons.
Many Americans are too willing to give up their genetic information to private companies, according to a congressman.
"You can't have a discussion about this without talking about privacy and the protection of commercial data because expectations of privacy have degraded over the last 20 years."
He said that people will quickly spit into a cup and send it to 23andMe to get interesting data.
China is studying Russia's failures, and the CIA director is banning near-term Taiwanese immigration.
Crow said that a private company can sell a person's genetic information if they gather it. 23andMe doesn't sell the private information it gathers from customers.
The senator said that U.S. adversaries could use the same technology to target livestock and crops.
The availability of cheap, military- capable drones, as well as China and Russia's expanding use of artificial intelligence, came the same day that Crow and Ernst warned.

The U.S. and its adversaries are looking at ways to create swarms of up to 200 drones that can quickly traverse the battlefield.
"It's not just the one-offs that are being purchased on the internet, but now we have near-peer adversaries that are developing swarm technology where they can use 100 or 200 different drones."
Crow acknowledged that U.S. adversaries are not concerned with moral and ethical considerations when it comes to drones.
