I mean, they can't just knock on my door and say "Hey, we think there might be a chance you use drugs so we want to search your house". Don't they have to have cause?

Isn't 2257 illegal search and seizure?
I wonder how the courts would react about "Probable Cause" and "no grounds of suspicion" given that the FBI "apparently" reviews VOD/Web Sites/etc to identify talent folks that appear to them to be possibly under 18 years of age, thus giving them "cause-suspicion" to inspect??? Inspections versus Investigations --routine admin versus Probale cause????

I wonder if an "Investigation" requires a judge's approval for a warrant? If so, the use of "inspections" might be "harassment" and reason to challenge the law's constitutionally?
