  whole disk encryption

  You can't log into the laptop until you get past the whole disk encryption passphrase. Then you log in to the O/S
  I realize that it doesn't cover all scenarios but my point was that as a service provider I have an obligation to secure my customers' data.

  Just because she's dumb enough to remove said pictures doesn't excuse the retailer's employees actions. When she dropped off her old phone for service, the phone and it's information are then in the custody of the retailer. There would seem to be a reasonable expectation from the service provider to protect that information while they were responsible for it.
  Case in point, as a service provider our employees keep customer data on their laptops. As part of our security policy we whole disk encrypt all of our laptops because we assume that our customers have a reasonable expectation that we will protect their information while it's in our custody.
  
  
  So, in this particular case I would disagree with "the presumption that the content we capture will remain private should probably diminish"
  
  Had she left the phone on a train/bus/plane then I'd agree.

  umm, no one else notice the similarity

  Paying IV to avoid future lawsuits is no different than buying 'protection' from the mafia.
