As I already said, the same information that is obtained by swiping your passport is retained. There is just not a terminal in the jet way to do it. This is the same information that is given to CBP by the airline via APIS. The details of any interview or conversation are not retained other then in the officers memory unless there is a seizure or arrest. I would guess that it is retained as long as that APIS information but I don't know the exact time frame. Many times if written information is being taken during an outbound operation it is for statistics of the overall operation.
So we are already living in a state where govt tracks its citizens' movements in and out of the country......must have happened when we were not looking.
That information has been available to the Government for many years.
