  the checkpoints delete your image immediately after scanning so they are the least of your worries.

  I’m going to need a source on this bullshit lie.

    Source: the signs on the device itself at an airport I saw last week, also the TSA website www.tsa.gov/digital-id

    The photo is immediately deleted unless clear signage is posted ndicating that the checkpoint is undergoing testing as results may be retained for up to 24mo.

      How do you know it is auto deleted?

      What if it relies on specific personnel to actively purge the database? What if said personnel are poorly trained, low pay, exteme limited time, and simply does not care?

      How likely is a TSA agent fall under all of those criteria? (Hint: very likely)

        Well if that is the case at your specific airport, you’d know because it would say as much on the sign. You know, like it says in the sentence immediately following the line you quoted.
