Don't forget that they regularly distribute CP all over the internet to draw people in. Tons of CP that would have long since been forgotten has been distributed to millions of pedophiles by law enforcement, most of which are not prosecuted.
That's why I NEVER (unless through a very rare careless accident) leave my laptop wifi connection going if I'm not sitting at the laptop. Not just FBI, or CIA, could plant CP, but all sorts of people could, with the right capabilities. I think it would be very difficult (and hopefully nearly impossible) for them to do if you are on your computer, and have anti-virus software running while you are on it, but maybe I'm just naive.

Also the Clowns in America have the ability to place CP on people's computers with no trace left behind.
It's been years since I read about that so I do not even recall where that was tidbit was exposed. Probably could find it via Vault 7/Wikileaks

They would be able to do so, invisibly, even if you were actively using your computer.
Can they implant it if your computer is not on?
Well now you've gone and removed my false sense of security :)
Never really thought on that, but...yep. Good idea to not just leave the thing running unprotected.
