Beware. This is how they are operating now. Reminds me of the adoption bonuses that turned many CPS workers into paid baby snatchers.

Critics of the government's anti-terrorism approach said the case amounted to entrapment of angry young men and that if not for the actions of the FBI's informants, the group of immigrants would have done nothing more than talk about an attack.

and this:


One informant told the men about someone in Baltimore who could sell them weapons, and the first arrests in the case took place at that informant's apartment.

Ian S. Lustick, a political science professor at the University of Pennsylvania, argued that the federal government has repeatedly overreached when investigating and prosecuting terrorism plots.

"We see a pattern across the country of almost no evidence of anything being done that is actually dangerous, but enormous amounts of evidence of the energy and resources put into entrapment," said Lustick, author of a book on domestic terrorism cases.

Watch out.
