still afloat

Ok , got a question / ideal about the scanners at airports.
Everything I'm reading points to the new Terahertz scanners disrupting , scrambling , destroying .etc double-stranded DNA in people going through the scanners.
Now , with that in mind if someone commits a crime and leaves DNA behind that would connect him with the crime then goes through the scanners a time or two would that create enough difference in the DNA to give reasonable doubt and avoid a convivtion on DNA alone?
So instead of 99.9% chance of Mr. X commiting a crime the DNA now shows say 87.6 % chance or not a match at all.
Will this be the new criminal defense attorney's defense?
If the scanner can alter your own DNA to where it wont match after a scan then couldn't a scan make your new DNA pattern match someone else as well?
