"The “devious defecator” case was one in which a group of employees alleged that their employer had, under threat of dismissal, compelled them to produce DNA samples which the employer then subjected to genetic testing to discover the defecator who was leaving feces around the perimeter of the workplace. The employees had alleged that the employer’s actions were a violation of GINA. Although that case does not squarely fit into what GINA as an anti-discrimination law was designed to do, privacy advocates were heartened by the outcome of the case as, not only was this the first GINA case to be brought to trial, it also resulted in a $2.25 million money award. As of this writing, the case has yet to be overturned on appeal."
well, shit.
