National DNA‑synthesis safety filter

Create a government‑run, non‑open, automated biosecurity filter that every DNA synthesis request must pass in a secure enclave (no exports or storage), require all new benchtop synthesizers to connect to it, and mandate upgrade/turn‑in of legacy machines within a short deadline or ban them. The filter would search for viral/functional motifs beyond named agents and be the de facto gate for domestic synthesis. — Imposing a mandatory, centralized technical gate on DNA synthesis would be a major new lever in biosecurity policy, raising trade, sovereignty, privacy, and industrial‑policy questions for governments, labs, and equipment makers.
