Basically, the real deal technology here is the lipid bubbles that deliver the payloads to the right cells, not the base modification. You can go look at them, and a lot of other comments in this thread for more info on that tech.

TLDR: No way that anyone can bypass anything. These lipid bubbles are a miracle that they work at all; they're so unstable, it boggles the mind we can even use them to begin with. Doing any large scale DNA editing on an unsuspecting population would be so insanely expensive and difficult, I certain moving to the Moon would be cheaper.
