I don't think the DOJ wants to risk another court jurisdiction ruling 2257 to be unconstitutional.
It isn't really a 2257 issue directly, one of those things that is truly annoying. GGW has settled at least one (and I want to say more than one, but I won't go there) case where a girl appearing in their tapes was under age. If I remember correctly, much of the Florida to-do is all about this stuff.

Now if the Ashley footage turns out to be unusable because the girl was underage, isn't this enough in and of itself for the feds to show up at the door and say "we think you have underage porn here". Not really a specific 2257 inspection, but rather a direct application of other laws regarding minors?

It seems to me that the biggest crock in the whole 2257 / inspections / obscenity prosecution deal is that the feds aren't interested in going after what is right under their noses, because it isn't politically profitable.
