Like in the movie gattaca. They look at your intelligence and any defects like a bad heart. Employers currently use: psychological tests, drug tests, credit check, background check. (this is for example used by PRiVATE banks)
They could also use the drug test without letting you know they did it.

Well, I think we'll probably DNA data banks in the future, so, yeah, I think it's entirely possible. But it depends on public policy at the time, and if the government is corrupt enough to allow that to happen.

Sadly, yes it is possible. The insurance companies would sure like it. However, the human genome project is the first major project that was required to put aside some of thier funding to address these questions BEFORE the genie is completely out of the bottle. Is that enough? I dunno.
We need more people to ask questions like this though...
