If the Special Master were to reveal the contents of the list they would face severe penalties, perhaps even disbarrment and quite possibly prison time. So just as you are motivated to not go to jail by becoming compliant with the 2257 regulations, the Special Master has the same motivation to keep his end of the bargain.

While there is nothing to stop the DOJ from creating their own list of 'ineligible defendants' based upon the results from the Special Master, this does not mean that the FSC has relinquished their membership list to the DOJ.

The DOJ only needs to use that list if they are going to inspect somebody.

The DOJ already has a list of 'targets' they have in their sights, most likely, they already know these 'targets' do not have the records needed for even one image, if that is the case, no inspection is needed, arrest and charge, lather, rinse, repeat.
