I don't think they'll necessariliy up-and-out kidnap him. But they would change the law to make him subject to testing "within reason." That "reason", of course, would be determined solely by them and he would not be able to do anything about it because, "it's the law."

Stuff in movies may not be "real," per se. But, for people to come up with this sort of stuff in the first place, there has to be an inherent mistrust of government that has its roots in some malfeasance that the government has committed in the past. You don't think governments the world over are hiding things? Covering up their own atrocities? Currently committing even worse acts against people? Then you're just plain naive.
