Whoa!! Give me a break. I'm not a lawyer, obscenity issues aren't exactly in my top ten issues, and give me credit for getting 1/3 of it right.

The interesting thought is that my understanding of obscenity laws is probably very close to everyone in the TSA, including Francine The Googler.
That's the whole point. It's important to actually know the law. TSA can't simply grab dirty magazines from your carry-on because they've decided they're pornography. Similarly, TSA can not detain you or arrest you because they think you have other "contraband."
