Yes, I was thinking to suggest this.
I was/am just a bit unsure if the test is good enough or might have a
too high false-positive rate.
Naive calculation says the false positive rate would be about 3 in 4 billion
which should be fine but I haven't thought much about if the naive
approach is correct.
