This number does not contain any personally identifiable information.

So what if the number itself doesn't contain PII? A good database developer just needs to give it a button such that...
Code:
/* This is pseudocode. YMMV */
// connect to DHS database and CBP database
USE dhs, cbp;
// retrieve all PII from DHS that corresponds to number in CBP's database
SELECT * FROM dhs.pii, cbp.citizens WHERE dhs.pii.dhs_num = cbp.citizens.dhs_num;
In English: As long as that chip's number corresponds to a number somewhere else that has your PII attached to it, it might as well be PII to the interpreter.
