And to be clear on the other end (with requisite IANAL) - If the undercover officer says "You holding? I got cash", it is not entrapment. Simply making a request for a transaction isn't entrapment, even if you're being circumspect. Even if you're aggressive about it - "I know you're holding, give me the drugs, man" - That's not entrapment, especially if they are actually "holding". Entrapment is a narrow defense - The Government forced me to do something I would not otherwise have done. If someone other than the government (and it's agents) coerces you, that's not entrapment (but may be a defense).
