Are you referring to the scan that only happens before flights to the US? With the laptops on little rolling stands? I don't know exactly how connected those are, but last time I did that, the screener pushed his laptop around to show to a few co-workers before letting me in, so I think they're looking at quite a bit more than just name and photo.

(Amusingly, about a week before that happened, I was inside the beltway, chatting with someone who works for an Agency, and they told me flat-out that how much I fly, and where I fly, "would not have gone unnoticed." Guess they weren't kidding.)
