because its forensic potential has yet to be fully assessed

Translation: even if it were technologically feasible, cheap, widely available, and worked perfectly every single time, it’s doubtful it would be useful in any way in solving crimes.

Heh.

You honestly do not expect Kalifornistan lawmakers to be swayed by reason, logic, and rational thought, though, do you?

Not cheap? Well, it is relative. A few years back, one of A. Hitler's pistols went at auction. The gold one. No, not gold-plated like Saddam's, <em><strong>gold</strong></em> - ranging from about eight to twelve carat depending on the part - firing silver bullets (against werewolves? no, that was supposed to be the last-ditch post-occupation Nazi resistance...) from platinum casings. I don't have the slightest idea what it sold for, but suspect $250 would be insignificant.
