Well that's my question - is it an audit, or a criminal investigation?

My hairdresser is subject to inspections by the Texas Board of Cosmetology. They don't need warrants. They are making sure they are following health laws, etc.

In other words, conducting an criminal investigation for six months on child porn is one thing, but a continuous, non ending search for something of an entire industry seems like its is something else. The fast food industry could potentially hire someone underage to serve ice cream cones. Yes, that would be child labor, which is a federal crime. And obviously we don't want to see any forced child labor....

But that is not a continuous, comprehensive audit proceedure enforced by the US Dept of Justice of every fast food business that uses the notion of "guilty until proven innocent" as its stepping stone.

By the way, I think there is a weird effect of this: the federal government is legitimizing the porn business, not at all the goal of the legislators who wrote 2257. Because we now have two companies who have had the US Dept of Justice in their offices, undergone a complete inspection, and pronounced legal.
