This is a disgusting thought, but hear me out. Perhaps this might actually be a good job to give to a paedophile. Their classifications would probably have a superior false positive rate than someone who is disgusted by the images, and it would all but eliminate any concern about an employee suffering psychological trauma.

I doubt this. If they were all images that this person happened to be into, maybe... But even then, I think it would likely make their addiction to child porn worse, which is it's own psychological problem that is probably worse for society than the trauma suffered by current employees. What happens when they leave that job, and are used to seeing hundreds of cp images a day?
Not to mention, that some of the stuff the scanner would be looking at would probably be horrific, and violent. Looking at that kind of thing all day would probably have similar psychiatric affects on pedophiles and non pedophiles. In the worst case, it might cause some pedophiles to start to like the worse images out of boredom from seeing so much cp.
Overall, I'd say this is would just be a bad avenue to go down.
I thought we agreed that playing violent video games doesn't make people more violent. Isn't this the same thing?
It's not the same thing. The argument would have to be: violent video games lead to more violent video games, which, anecdotally, I would probably say they do.
