people who paid attention or got arrested and fucked over by the government knew. they also told everyone. one more thing a lot of people dont actually know. back when those overnight photo development booths existed, i guess before the mid 90s, they used to have a person pick all of the photos up, take them to an airport, and they would fly them to local development centers a state or two away. a lot of these places kept copies of the photos for the government. everyones personal photos were stored somewhere for government review
