## Opinion text

¶62
(concurring) — I concur fully in the well reasoned majority opinion. I write separately to observe that on this day a majority of my colleagues has found a greater privacy interest in a person’s urine than they recently found in a person’s saliva and the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) it contains. See State v. Athan, 160 Wn.2d 354, 374 , 158 P.3d 27, 37 (2007); cf. State v. Surge, 160 Wn.2d 65 , 156 P.3d 208 (2007). I find the juxtaposition of these two opinions paradoxical.
Chambers, J.
