The TSA site specifically says that the photos are not stored. AI training data generated from the "live" photo(s) they take would be just as useful to them for the things people should be worried about and there's no mention of them not storing that data.

This post is guilty of the exact kind of misinformation it is complaining about...
The linked Snopes article states that the line: "I [am] so afraid of him coming in the shower with me that I've waited until late at night to take a show" is not in the released contents of the stolen diary.
But the released contents of the stolen diary do contain: "showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate)." Parents showering with their young children is quite normal, but the "probably not appropriate" makes it look more questionable along with other things in the diary such as "Hyper-sexualized @ a young age ... I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a family member]; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age;"
If we trust Snopes articles, Joe Biden showering with his daughter is "Unproven", not a "lie" as this post's title so boldly claims.
It's a "but they could." The fact they are doing the comparison means there's some sort of machine learning/AI going on which would have to generate some sort of dataset to function. So if they weren't going to store any of that data they could say so instead of only saying "photos" won't be stored.
The site does later say "Biometrics are not used for surveillance – Facial recognition technology is solely used to automate the current manual ID credential checking process and will not be used for surveillance or any law enforcement purpose." (so they do seems to understand the difference between "photos" and "biometrics") but things can change and the possible existence of such data would make it much easier to end up legally/illegally being used for such things than if it doesn't exist.
