Yep. So there are the (enormous) hidden costs of this scheme in order to make it effective. And who do you think is going to pay for this? The merchants will pass this on to the public through higher prices.
As far as DNA scans go, presumably it would only be a partial DNA scan, along the same lines of argument that they use for the fingerprint information - they only store enough information to confirm that a fingerprint matches the one given earlier, not enough to recreate the fingerprint...
