Often times, folks screaming "entrapment" are doing so because they were caught.

I'm more interested in privacy and the right to be secure as we move around in this digital world.

It's a dangerous slope. I mean, I'm sure that law enforcement would NEVER use this power for nefarious reasons.

We have gone so far down the rabbit-hole of "surveillance" for our "protection", I'm not sure we can get out of it.
