Yes and no. The encryption key is fixed? Why not use a session key that is (nominally) ephemeral to the running snapchat process at least?

> if they can view it once

I have a camera and a phone. I can record anything displayed on my phone forever regardless of technology, and so can a three year old. Especially for "sensitive" snapchats, the "analog hole" (aka: a human has to be able to view it for it to be visual communication) renders all these ideas moot. It has absolutely nothing to do with "clever" drm-like hacks.
