- The goal is laudable, the solution unworkable

Details on how the system would work are missing from McCain's legislation and are left to the center and ISPs.
I understand why the details are missing, I don't see technology as being available to actually do this.
1) Who decides what is offensive. We all know the black and white ones, what about borderline? If I subscribe to online Teen magazine for my daughter, am I a criminal?
2) Tens of Millions of images. I don't envy the team who has to scan, tag, identify, post the hexcode checksums that can be tracked. How about the 10-100K new one's per day. We don't have the technology for a computer to decide which are good and which are evil.
3) Any time you send a picture using AOL, for example, it has to link to the database, after generating the checksum, to verify it isn't illegal content? How long will page loads take when 30+ images are present. Do they have a server farm to handle 100 billion hits per day? Does every ISP/application/service of any sort have to keep a local 100 gigabyte database of illegal checksums?
I like the provisions to increase the sentence for anyone who commits the crime using the internet, but monitoring all images in realtime is not going to fly.
Hopefully, someone with technical know how can propose a system that could work?
