I am advocating the use of legal sting operations. If you simply make a fake bomb available to someone that is searching for a bomb to use, do you consider it to be enticement into action? I do not, but this may be a point where we disagree.
For example, I hope terrorists do not get their hands on nuclear material. I want it to be especially difficult for terrorists to trust anyone with nuclear material for sale. This should make it more difficult to source (i.e. limit their means to action) and to identify those that wish to obtain nuclear material illegally. I see sting operations as a key strategy to use in this case. The goal is to deter terrorists from taking action.
I am using the definition for entrapment that I found online for the sake of this discussion. I have not gone any further than a quick google search.
