Right now it could be argued that it should be.  It directly affects 
national infrastructure therefore the whole idea of internet police 
qualifies.  Alot of DNS software on the net is bad.
A government serious about national infrastrcuture protection should 
considering moving in that direction.  And we don't have to send out the 
marines.  could just be a government body dedicated to closing down 
security issues proactively - and the dns is one of them.  And now at 
this point in U.S. history the nation and government is in such a state 
of national security choas it would be an opportune time to impliment 
the network police using terrorism as a proxy to speed up passage of 
enabling legislation.
