And if the LEO records / retains your info, I suspect he or she should be required under the Privacy Act to make disclosures as to the purpose and duration of such retention, etc.
The problem comes when the LEOs pass that info on to the TSA, who is notoriously bad for not following the Privacy Act's requirements (usually under claims of "SSI" etc.) IMHO the LEOs have no business making that handoff, and indeed most do not, but when they do... who knows what the TSA does with it?
