USA Today reports the TSA had been keeping records of passengers who arrived at airport checkpoints without identification since late June.

Those who said they forgot ID were added to “a database of people who violated security laws or were questioned for suspicious behavior,” Thomas Frank writes.

However, Frank reports that after being asked about the program, TSA chief Kip Hawley said the program will be changed, and those whose names and records were kept will be deleted from the database.
