But that’s no reason to just abolish the border. Most of them are peaceful.

I wonder if this is another one of those entrapment type deals for which the FBI is notorius. In other words, if not for FBI intercession and enticements no crime or attempt at a crime would have been contemplated or attempted,

If the FBI is involved I would guess that chance is close to 99.98%

I’m so cynical and skeptical of the FBI that I”m tempted to believe that this “plot” was engineered by the FBI to make themselves look good.

I must confess, I no longer have full confidence in the FBI.

Large city in middle America? Of course it’s a target. Granted, it’s not SanFran or NYC, but it would have an impact.

Maybe they thought that it was an easy target.

So how involved was the FBI with this person’s activities prior to the arrest?
