I perceive more than a bit of slant to that article.
Seriously, I doubt the FBI has one-tenth of the time, personnel and money to apprehend even the worst pedophiles out there. I highly doubt they are going to be posting an agent at every photo developing counter in the country.
And yes, I agree, common sense prevails. If you have several rolls of "normal" photographs ... the dog, aunt Martha at the BBQ, etc. ... and one of your four year old naked in the bathtub, I highly doubt it is ever going to be a problem. I think the age is important, too. Pictures of your naked three year old ... cute! Pictures of your naked twelve year old ... hmmmmm.
But if someone gets roll after roll of film developed with nothing but photos of naked children ... hello.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
