I can see how they may arrest foreigners over real suspicions of involvement in production/trafficking in CP, not over something of such an administrative nature as 2257.

I'm not a lawyer of course, I could be wrong. Just wondering if anyone has heard of anything like that in regards to visiting webmasters?

Also, to the original OP- the hardcore/explicit banners on the warning page isn't a moot point. Nothing to do with protecting your surfers, as much as some LL's possibly rejecting your FS for that.
True, they can't visit your place to inspect records if you live in a foreign country. My point is, I am just saying that many webmasters believe that they are exempt from American law. That's not true if you visit the states. It true about obscenity or any other American law.
