@mott555 said in Argentina wants to register everyone's DNA. Seriously.: My friends who had recently returned from Argentina had told us all they'd bring enough mate >to go around, and fortunately they forgot and left it all at home. I just know we'd have been >thrown in jail until lab tests confirmed it wasn't illegal drugs. That stuff looked shady as hell. Wow? Really? I know airport security sometimes gets paranoid, but its not like they had coca leaves with them. And yes, in case anyone's wondering in the northern region of argentina coca leaves are sold freely. Usually in small quantities, though, not nearly close to the amount needed to make, y'know, actual cocaine (but then, that would take far more than just the leaves).
