Suspects purchase a flight weeks + months before the flight. The TSA screens them just minutes before getting on. Flight purchases would be critical and distinct information for law enforcement.

This is wrong. You need to provide your travel documentation id and they share your personal info well before you get on the plane

  Sure but when is that purchase transferred to TSA ? It’s not disclosed . I agree it’s a possibility, but having the flight purchase info is higher value and more complete .

    At least 24 hours before your flight when they assign pre or the dreaded SSSS status.
