Brad, the only difference is that Tampa, Salt Lake City, and a very other very selective places in the US are locations where the government thinks they can get 12 very conservative people who will be disgusted / shocked / revolted by the content put in front of them. The underlying act of all this (videos by mail to Tampa) allowed them to run the case there rather than in LA or New York, example, where they would likely get a jury stacked in the other direction.
So yes, it is a federal case, but they aren't going to try anything grey outside of the ulta conservative areas.
