The photo is immediately deleted unless clear signage is posted ndicating that the checkpoint is undergoing testing as results may be retained for up to 24mo.

How do you know it is auto deleted?
What if it relies on specific personnel to actively purge the database? What if said personnel are poorly trained, low pay, exteme limited time, and simply does not care?
How likely is a TSA agent fall under all of those criteria? (Hint: very likely)
