Possession with intent to sell, and sale, of obscene matter on Federal
property is also a crime:

Mailing pornography is also a crime
U.S. Code: Title 18: Section 1461
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/ts_search.pl?title=18&sec=1461
The Transportation of obscene matters for sale or distribution is a crime:
U.S. Code: Title 18: Section 1465
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/ts_search.pl?title=18&sec=1465
It should be noted that in many states where pornography is
permissible, there are judicial actions pending that are attempting to
make pornography a crime or at the very least strictly regulate it. In
other states where it is permissible, certain local jurisdictions
within those states have restrictions on it or prohibit it altogether.

By the same token, in states where pornography is illegal, it is
sometimes viewed by authorities as a crime that does not warrant the
attention some feel it deserves and as such it may not be enforced
with great enthusiasm even though it may indeed be illegal there.
Which jurisdictions these are is basically determined by the position
of the local authories on the matter.
