There is another problem. Pure, unadulterated smut is not covered by the First Amendment. In order to be covered, it must have "redeeming social importance". Where the hell are we going to get redeeming social importance?
Also, we're talking about the FBI in the second term of Bush after two terms of Clinton. Both administrations have been moralizing tyrants when it comes to pornographic material, no matter what you think of them otherwise you must admit that. What are we going to do if the FBI simply perceives itself as having the right to go in and investigate/prosecute (whichever shuts us down first) us with total disregard for the fact that we aren't harming anyone and Free Speech because we're "immoral filthmongers"?
