So... doesn't anyone else see the problem with this?

As in, how easy it would be for the ISPs (or the justice dept, working under secret cover, as they've done with the phone companies) to also scan emails for images that are protected speech/expression, claim they're obscene, and use the data they've illegally gathered to either harrass or threaten webmasters, surfers, etc?

I'm inclined to believe that it's mostly like the dog-and-pony show surrounding airport security... do a whole bunch of crap that serves no real purpose, but gives the illusion that something is being done to make the skies safer.

If they *really* wanted to deal with CP, they would first address the fact that 2257 makes absolutely no provision whatsoever to determine the age of the model when the content was shot and they would dump all of the other stuff which has no bearing on CP.

Yes, it's great that they are filtering for CP, but my biggest worry is that it won't stop there.
