I've already looked into this one and...surprise surprise...the TSA exempted itself from most all of the Privacy Act, at least in this context.
To be fair, this is perhaps not so much a poor reflection on the TSA, but on the poor excuse for privacy legislation that is the PA of 1974. Government will take whatever we give it. The Privacy Act gives quite a bit.
