I agree that far with you. But do note that we're talking specifically about minors here, and notions of sexuality and body taboos go right out the window when children are concerned, and for good reason (as a lack of body taboos / reduced repression of sexuality does
not apply to children)

As far as the image of the raw data images ending up on Utube, aint gonna happen. Too many safeguards in place, the average TSO cannot get to that level of display information without passwords and other safeguards. AS far as intent is concerned, I never said that it was a defense, it is an element.
However, here's where I will disagree. At least one fairly high-up guy in the TSA was been busted for child porn IIRC... maybe the frontline screener isn't going to have access to the raw images, but that doesn't mean someone who does (or who can gain such access) won't take advantage of it.
