"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."
Your passport is identified to us as a big hexidecimal string called a PUID. This is then associated with a bungie.net login. If you delete your passport, then there is no way to access that bungie.net login ever again. It will eventually be deleted (as the system will detect that nobody has logged into it in a while). Once that happens, as with all deleted accounts, the login name is added to a list of "restricted names." These names cannot be used until they are removed from the list, generally 60 (maybe 90, I don't remember) days. After that point, a new account may claim the name. However, that new account doesn't get access to the deleted account's data - it knows you are a different user.
There will likely be a method added in the future to allow you to change which Passport your bungie.net account is associated with. Such a feature would allow you to "recover" a bungie.net account that hasn't been deleted to a new Passport, much like you can "recover" a gamertag to an Xbox while invalidating it on all other Xboxes.
This feature is some time away. I suggest that in the meantime, you create a Passport that you intend to use, and continue to use the other Passport at bungie.net until we have such a feature available. Then you can switch your bungie.net Passport to the newer one. The downside is that if you link you gamertag to the new one, you will have to manually look up your Halo 2 stats here. Unfortunately, that is the best we can offer you at the moment.
