Putting on my tin foil hat here:

All the cops have to do is email you kiddie porn, then they can break into your house, confiscate your computer, and arrest you when they find the evidence. Heck, the could mass email it out and arrest EVERYONE.

sometimes these images just keep coming up on the screen and you swat them away and they just take over the whole space with no way to click them away and then it looks like I was surfing for porn!

[AppyPappy]

Not true. They have to prove you were aware of the child porn. Usually, it's pretty easy.

Actually I could put any image I wanted on your hard drive without you knowing it. All you have to do is...

I won't mention it here but it is easy.

For this "plan" to work, wouldn't you have to download the file and then not say, "Holy crap, this e-mail that I downloaded from a stranger is kiddie porn!" and then fail to delete the kiddie porn?

Sorry, no tinfoil hat award. You will have to accept the "realm of possibility" citation in leiu.

They actually tried this with Patty Hearst. Cops sent a UPS package containing drugs to her husband, UPS left it on porch, cops were waiting in ambush to raid and arrest figuring she would pick it up and take it inside. Plan collapsed when she didn't and called Sheriff's office. They caught the cops hiding in wait in their cars. Their explanation of probable cause for the raid was fishy, and it didn't take long to figure out who had arranged for the package to be delivered. No charges were ever filed.
