Not since late summer 2007, when the Govt (Bush Adm) lost an important Court case, and did not want to set itself up for more precedent losses (you can and should Google it yourself, or study the FSC or AVN websites).

The exact number of inspections is really hard to determine, since some reported events were actually fake press release publicity stunts.

The 12 months or so of inspections yielded nothing of value to the Govt, except the Girls Gone Wild case, which turned out to be an IRS income tax evasion victory. That company was not hard to find, since it advertised on late night TV, and is still in business.

Late summer 2007 was the same time that AEBN set up an in-house legal department to ensure 2257 compliance of the movies they carried. For me, that brought to an end the bullying practices of some marketers, who used these forums, and their own interpersonal business practices with producers, to give "legal advice" and promote discriminatory practices as to which producers they would carry or not - under the guise of 2257 compliance.

As the FSC continues to argue: the only two celebrated cases of minors being featured in commercial adult videos have been one girl and one boy who presented fake IDs to trick producers into hiring them, for their own self promotion.

Of course, no commercial adult video producer is going to risk their business on deliberately using minors, yet the 2257 rule(s) does nothing extra regarding the enforcement of the dark underground illegal child porn ring, which is the true crime, for which many other laws exist to combat.
