The retrospective scanning is a great point - I hadn't considered that.
The detection process is certainly not going to be built into the Facebook upload process unless really serious (and seriously public) usage of these techniques takes off such as wide-spread use by terrorists.
But theoretically, yes detecting could be integrated with uploading. That said, steganography algorithms and detectors generally play a cat and mouse game so as long as extension providers can move faster than Facebook in implementing new algorithms this risk is mitigated.
