if the individual was approached and goaded by the government, i.e. the gov told him they could provide him with a bomb, then that is entrapment.
If the individual actively sought out someone to provide him with a bomb, then THAT would be a crime.

Because there aren't any tapes, I can't tell you whether it was entrapment. So, this is just a really tough case that would have been made easier if the jackass FBI had taped EVERYTHING.
