I would say that the crucial passage is:
"This follows an earlier disclosure (PDF) by the TSA that it
requires all airport body scanners it purchases to be able to
store and transmit images for "testing, training, and evaluation
purposes." The agency says, however, that those capabilities are
not normally activated when the devices are installed at
airports."
Which has some resonance with the recent faux-scandal about photocopiers
keeping copies of documents. It all depends if the feature is built in
all of them [very likely, as that simplifies manufacture] and whether
it's turned on [a management decision], and why wouldn't it be a lot of
the time?
