What way do you have that's better than what the gov't has?

I'm not saying I like their way, I don't, I'm just saying if I were them and were trying to protect children, I don't know of a better way to do it.
The problem is that minor aren't rampant in the commercial porn industry in the United States. Sure there have been rare cases of a minor using a fake ID or a producer overlooking things, but it's just not necessary. Plenty of legal girls who look the part.

The U.S. still doesn't understand that the problem is global and a CP producer in Russia doesn't give two shits about our laws.

They can do better by working closer with other governments, especially ones where CP is prevalent. They can create legislation with ISPs that give them more power to shut down access to illegal sites that are coming into the United States. To be able to shut down processors and freeze assets of those who are involved (not unlike we do with terrorists). Yes that can sound a bit like China, but it's a much better way to stop CP than pestering legitimate businesses over photocopies of their IDs.
