As others have pointed out, this isn't about kiddie porn. It's about children accessing porn.

The slippery slope should be quite evident. The government is seeking records that include searches by adults who have the right to look at porn. In actuality, most of the records they are seeking will be of legal searches by adults. Only a fraction will be searches by children. As to a slippery slope, what's next? How would you feel about a similar dragnet to look for illegal firearms sales? Should the government be able to look at records of anyone who's Googled the word "rifle"?

And, since it is absolutely impossible to determine which searches were made by whom, the only way the government could possibly "use" this data for their stated purpose is to fraudulently claim that they have identified cases of children searching for porn.

The more you examine this story, the worse the Administration looks.

Major BINGO!!!

It also begs the question of what sort of data-bases they put this info in, how long they keep it, who they share it with and what all they do with it besides compile statistics.
