Geneticist's PDA DNA scanner not working

[BaneOfGiygas]

What? You mean scanning people isn't supposed to be utterly useless?

Seeing as it's literally the only thing a Genetics PDA has, (they don't even have a health scanner? what's the deal?) then I'd hope it would be useful. Before, you could smack people with your PDA, and their genetic data would automatically be transferred to the genetics consoles, where you could research them without keeping them hostage in the scanner for minutes on end. However, you couldn't actually ACTIVATE any of the genes without the person there, so if you find someone with a really awesome mutation, you can call them down to genetics to receive their awesome mutation. It was pretty sweet.
