It’s bizarre the things they cook up to “attract” people to honeypots that many of those people would never venture to.

We see the most egregious cases in the news , but that means there are many more less notable cases with the same degree of injustice for lots individuals who aren’t always bright.

It’s as unseemly as having some guy in highschool talking the slow girl in class to go out with him.

There are enough bad people trying to do bad things. Go after them, do it professionally. Not this “I got Martha for lying, gimme my promotion” quickie stuff.

Yeah I wonder how much safer we actually get when someone who's only criminal contact is with the FBI/Police, eg a 'terrorist' who only ever talked to, planned with, and bought for the police about or for their planned attack. Sure they probably didn't entrap them technically but it feels like it accomplishes very little except keeping people afraid and justifying the careers of agents.
