My understanding of entrapment is that it's convincing someone to do something they wouldn't ordinarily. I don't think "Wanna bomb that building?" Qualifies as entrapment. It would be difficult for undercover police to catch drug dealers, for example, if they couldn't ask the dealers to sell them drugs. Entrapment would be more like "We're going to bomb that building, and if you don't join us, I'm going to kill you... Hah! Just kidding, you're under arrest!" "Government agents do not entrap defendants simply by offering them an opportunity to commit a crime. Judges expect people to resist any ordinary temptation to violate the law. An entrapment defense arises when government agents resort to repugnant behavior such as the use of threats, harassment, fraud, or even flattery to induce defendants to commit crimes." https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/entrapment-basics-33987.html https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/entrapment-basics-33...
