Two of the biggest smuggling items currently into America from Canada and Mexico are the old 3 gallon toliets and the old CFC containing stuff used in refrigirators and air conditioning. Say you called in a plubmer or AC specialist to fix a problem at your home. Turns out the problem is very expensive to fix, but for half the price he can install one of the above items and your problem is fixed. You take the deal. Next he handcuffs you and your off to jail for attempting to purchase an illegal item.
Hey, no problem. You deserved it. And never mind that the federal agent lured you into the crime.
I know it is vastly different than the topic at hand, but the basis, a lying government agent with the sole purpose of entraping someone is the same.
And I prefer citizens that don't molest and kidnap kids.
