If they were going to apply it to other laws literally no one would ever fly to Vegas. Gambling (prostitution) is illegal almost everywhere (some states are legalizing gambling) but the point stands.
They don't care what adults do. They care when you hurt a child. At least any normal person does.
If they try and amend that law and make it so you cannot break laws of the home state in another state then America ceases to work. It cannot and will not happen. Remember this, states are nations and the federal system is there to negotiate international deals and whatnot. Are they going to arrest you for going to Germany and hitting the red light district? I think not.
OK. You might have a point in California, Oregon, Washington, or maybe DC, but DC isn't a state it is a separate country.
I guess maybe in an extremely F'd up world they might try, but you have other things to worry about. I would worry about food security and actual physical security before I worried about this. Watch what they do and bring attention if they start to go that way but before that happens, America is already done. No way will they get away with that when things are still semi-normal.
Do you think they wouldn't apply that to other laws? I think they would, and if it's ok for them to do it with one law, they will do it with another.

I think they would try to pull some shit like that and that is what concerns me about it. We're not talking about normal people.
