Wait - wouldn't you _want_ the system to retain that information in your first case if you were mis-identified as a terrorist? I.e. you were recognized, but you were confirmed not a terrorist - so you won't be flagged later. Or maybe I misunderstood.

Otherwise, you run the risk of not updating the model to fix the false positive, and you might be flagged multiple times in the future.

I wouldn't want the system to keep information about me having been anywhere unless I'm a criminal. How would that information be helpful in updating the model. It already worked correctly.
