Easily. If you've seen these cases you'd notice they specifically try to find and groom people who have a mental disease, are under stress or just simply seem to be easily manipulated and controlled.
You can entrap someone into launching a missile. Becoming a pink elephant. Or doing all kinds of strange things.
Heck, clerics from 3rd world countries manage to convince young men that they should blow themselves up. If they can do it without training and education, FBI can do it better.
This is not new and has been happening for a while. My favorite case is this:
FBI sends their man a mosque. He starts agitating and promoting terrorism, trying to recruit people. Congregation files a restraining order against him and reports him to the ... that's right, FBI.
Bottom line is, if your job, mission and funding depends on fighting terrorism, at some point they'd manufacture a bit of that in order to keep getting more support and funding.
TSA would do it too, if they were higher up on the ladder. But they are not. FBI is high enough to do it and get away with it. Kind of like NSA is high enough up to not have to follow laws and get away with whatever they want when it come to surveillance.
