Butch,
You are right. You can be ordered to stop photographing and you would have to stop. However, they do not have the power to make you delete the pictures you have taken.

The problem is airline employees (and people like Gromit who defend them, making up laws as required) seem to think their powers are unlimited on their planes. Although they have far too many powers for their "pay grade", their powers are not unlimited.
