DNA database claims

[Peter Sommer]

About 18 months ago the Forensic Science Society  tried to run a seminar 
on computer forensics and invited me and a number of other toilers in 
this arena to speak.  They cancelled it because of lack of interest.  On 
the other hand computer forensics events run by specialist practitioner 
groups like F3 and the commercial sector attract very high levels of 
interest.   What is curious is how little by way of innovation in 
computer forensics gas come from the traditional "forensic science" 
sector, and that includes the Forensic Science Service.

I am not sure why this is....
