Better yet just spam folks with AirDrop to show how merely having an image on device doesn't mean squat irrespective of automatically downloaded images from a website or AirDropped in a bunch of unrelated media, lest you get a engineered adversarial image which has the same NeuralHash as CSAM catalog.

Been a long time since I've had an AirDrop from a device that wasn't mine - don't you have to confirm acceptance?

According to [1], yes, unless it's from your Apple ID, you get a preview and have to explicitly accept/reject.

"When someone shares something with you using AirDrop, you see an alert with a preview. You can tap Accept or Decline."

Are you saying that if you hit "Decline", it still saves the photo to Photos?
