Yeah, sure! They never looked at any pictures!
Someone should check the photos for evidence of stenography.
It seems strange but using child porn sites to pass imbedded secret communications might be a good security check.
If someone gets pinched, check of the computer doesn’t point to terrorist activity and points the Keystone Kops in the wrong direction.
When child porn pops up on someone’s system, it usually makes the local news.
Thus the message goes out to everyone local that local terrorist has been tagged by police and is no longer safe to communicate with.
The rest of the network is protected.
I love it - they stopped investigating when they found the porn.
Careful - don’t want to accidentally find links to European politicians or elites !

Yep, the ole hidden messages inside pictures routine. Using child porn is a pretty good ruse and a diversion, in and of itself!
Said by some guy who used to buy Playboy just for the articles.

“Even if all the things contained in his law were fables in philosophy and errors in theology, even for those who do not possess the light of reason, the very manners (Islam) teaches are from a school of vicious bestialities. (Muhammad) did not prove his new sect with any motive, having neither supernatural miracles nor natural reasons, but solely the force of arms, violence, fictions, lies, and carnal license. It remains an impious, blasphemous, vicious cult, an innovention of the devil, and the direct way into the fires of hell. It does not even merit the name of being called a religion.”
-St. Juan de Ribera (d.1611), Archbishop of Valencia, missionary to Spanish Muslims, and organizer of the Muslim expulsions of 1609 from Spain. Quoted in several locations from his 1599 Catechismo para la Instruccion de los Nuevos Convertidos de los Moros
