Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the specific wording of 18 USC § 2256(a) require that any 'visual depiction of such conduct' also require that the person knows or has reason to know that such depiction will be transported or transmitted using any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce or mailed, thereby limiting the statute's reach for federal prosecution?
