In particular, I am requesting information on how long TSA keeps the data generated by the machines that perform the explosive residue analysis on the swabs that TSA agents wipe on passenger's bags/objects. I am also requesting information on how long data is kept from the "puffer" machines used by TSA (these are typically made by either GE or Smiths), which shoot air at passengers and then analyze the particles that are dislodged. In addition to this data, I also request any and all information relating to how the information is matched or associated to specific passengers, in what format, and held in what databases, if it is at all. The scope of this request is for all information matching this description between the dates of 01/01/2003 and 02/01/2007.
