He acknowledged that human trafficking occurs in various industries and specified prostitution as one of the industries, but he didn't equate all prostitution with trafficking or argue that criminalizing prostitution is an effective way to fight trafficking.

The threat of jail (or death in some countries) doesn't deter sex workers of any stripe. I'm doubting red pieces of paper will. What exactly is the purpose behind this notice? Did either of the Bush inagurations have these notices? (I don't recall hearing about it, but I might not have been paying attention.)
