What if they just generate the algorithm, like I suggested above? And the folks with the data (the credit bureaus) generated the score?
FICO, for example, doesn't hold my credit data. They just come with the way to generate the score from a given set of data. I bet they could do something similar for this and keep the TSAs hands off of my data. I'm sure they would want that too, since the risk of holding on to that data is huge.
