Can the FBI walk into my local bank and demand to inspect their records because they are pretty sure that somewhere along the line they shorted somesome some money?

The comments about the health inspectors don't reall apply.... That's a proactive law - they are trying to prevent someone from getting sick.

Which brings me to my point. 2257 laws are not "proactive" but instead "reactive". "They" try to tell the public that they are doing someting about child porn with this law, but in truth they aren't stopping it but only looking for proof of it after the fact. It's a total waste of time.
