How long until someone goes and puts something stupid in the blockchain such as child porn, plans to make bombs, etc. Would this information then be used again

How long until someone goes and puts something stupid in the blockchain such as child porn, plans to make bombs, etc.
Would this information then be used against a bitcoin user in the event that his computer was confiscated by authorities?

No mainstream Bitcoin software/wallets have a file extraction feature, so you end up needing to download a special app designed to download that specific file. At which point, you may as well have just downloaded the file as well. Absence of the special file-downloader-file is proof that you are not willingly engaged in illegal conduct of any kind.
