It's not like the data is stored anywhere. It's just another scan, like the metal detectors.

I'm just guessing, but I rather suspect the data is stored somewhere. Otherwise one questions the value, unless they managed to trick Bin Laden and other top members of Al qaida at some point in the past to having their retina's scanned. Generally, if you manage to get close enough to a terrorist to scan his eyes, you are also close enough to stab him in the aforementioned eye. Or at least give him a good solid rendering.
