Ok but the FBI literally entraps people all the time. How is it substantially different if instead of a guy being paid to try to get you to shoot up a church or synagogue its like a chatbot agent telling you to steal cards?

yes, that furniture right there, the one covered in skin with a creepy animatronic face (like a furby) that whispers to me in the night made me do it
