Notwithstanding government promises to the contrary, they may be preserved. The U.S. Marshals Service conceded this year that some 35,000 images from a scanner at a Florida courthouse security checkpoint had been saved. The TSA insists that though storage is possible, the storing feature isn't activated when devices are installed at airports. Small comfort." Quotes-end.png
