It's not easy to "flag" books as inappropriate, there is no button or clicky thing to do so. One would have to go through amazon's help system and contact customer service in order to do this. The idea that someone(s) did this for over 50,000 book in a single weekend strikes me as peculiar.
Even if somehow they scripted it to happen, if Amazon doesn't have a way of halting automated sytems when things come in a landslide like that, then they are completely freaking useless.
Dude, what country are you living in? As far as I know, there is no law in ANY of the 50 states that requires one to have and/or carry a state ID card. Please point me to the statutes if I'm wrong.
You're only required to have a driver's license if you, you know...drive.
Actually, according to this post from Brad, the slashdotting barely made a dent in LJ's load.
All the slashdotters are also, as someone else pointed out, hitting the lower priority "unpaid" servers.

There isn't a "report this as inappropriate" button on amazon for books or products, only for reviews of books or products.
