How long does a DNA test take?

Nah just watch the Maury show that shit only takes 5 minutes of commercials to do.

Really? Because the quickest time I can find is 3-4 days.

No, not really.

Good question. It was the first one I had when I heard the "official" story, too.

If they have technology out there that can test DNA IN PAKISTAN IN A VERY SMALL TOWN and cross-match it with DNA in the United States, they've got a lot of explaining to do.

Likewise, I'd think that if they were carrying that kind of specific instrumentation on board the ship, they still have some explaining to do.

THIS is one of the many parts of the story that STINKS.

Yes I know it was rhetorical.

True.

Hey, I bet they're using the same technology that made it possible to extract the 9/11 hijacker's passports from under all that rubble.

4 hours.

It depends, if you're going to mail your saliva in, then you have to consider shipping and handling, if you go to a lab, then you would have to wait until it's the turn of your sample to get processed, etc, and if the lab person is working their shift or home sleeping or day off. If it's the NAVY SEAL and doing a mission to get or kill Osama Bin Laden and they need an immediate confirmation, then they probably have everything set up already before the mission even started.

The process itself takes at least 12 hours.

It's part of the script to keep the legend alive to continue the war.

That would make a very funny comedy sketch - US Navy Seals running into action followed by the mobile DNA test lab truck.

And they are going to match it to what ???

if you are doing it yourself as little as 2 to 3 hours. it only takes days because they add you to the queue. And need to check and double check the results.

If you had the people ready to do it it wouldn't take long at all.

It doesn't require a huge cutting edge lab to do dna analysis, just a temperature controlled area and some basic lab equipment like auto stirrers and chemicals.

any third year microbiology student could run the analysis in an afternoon.

as to weather this dna came from the dead bin laden though? thats another question altogether.

They could already have his DNA and have matched that? no need for a dead body then, could be any dead body... could run a close relatives dna ommiting certain junk fragments as they would be very similar? who knows?

really need to have been in the lab and witnessed the extraction of dna from the body, then the analysis from start to finish, i would have recorded this if i was the scientist doing the procedure.... i wonder if there is footage of it from start to finish???

I understand they had DNA from a relative , I think a sister of BL. Sounds like they could have done the test on the Carl Vincent.

What would be even funnier, is if after capping a fucker, the take the sample to Walgreens - and forced to wait for a bit for the result!

As long as a Soundbite/Press Conference (Lie).

:mmmmhmm:

By the way, did anybody notice how far that place from the nearest ocean?
