The more interesting question to ask is since there is such strong evidence of priming, how far should law enforcement agencies go in there own efforts to prime an individual into committing a crime(a la stings} are there any lines that shouldn't be crossed?

You seem to have rather missed the point of the comment, which is that the evidence for priming turns out not to be strong at all. In fact, it is so weak that the effect may not actually exist.
