It is what controls are put on the access and control of those photographs to ensure that (a) they are only used for the purpose they were taken and (b) they are erased after they have served that purpose. As regards Bernie's point, my guess is that the plan, if there is one yet, will be something as basic as MMSing them back to the station computer and then saving them in a folder by the date they were taken. I don't think that this plan would meet needs (a) or (b) above. I think the real issue isn’t the taking of photographs for a specific use.

Wouldn't you expect that they get e-mail accounts first?
