I'm not sure the validity of the post or the information therein. It did lead me to think of some futuristic use of implanting data into DNA:

Could it be possible for someone to take a corporate secret or information, translate it into DNA, incorporate the DNA into a virus, and then infect themselves with said virus? While they are incubating say, the common cold, they could be in physical transit to their destination with no electronic device. The virus could ultimately be extracted and it's information sold to the highest bidder.

Actually, it sort of reminds me of a novel by Alan Dean Foster - Sagramanda http://www.amazon.com/Sagramanda-A-Novel-Near-Future-India/d...
