If all those pages were laid end to end, they would reach around the Earth at the equator just over 152 times, or reach to the Moon and back just over 8 times.


[The NTRCFL processed over 50% of the digital evidence involving the aftermath of Sept 11th, 2001. The case was titled, the "PENTTBOM" investigation. It was named after the terrorist attacks against the Pentagon, Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the crash in Pennsylvania.]

Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006

This law became effective on July 27, 2006 and in part prohibits the defense or court from ordering the government or police to produce forensically obtained child pornography copies for the defense. They may view it, but the authorities can not be compelled to just hand it over. Go to the link above for the entire law, see section 504 of US Code, title 18, Section 3509.
