I'm patiently waiting for the "well the device was designed to not go off."

That's not the point. The point is they provided a threat, convinced a mentally ill person to carry it out and provided the resources and funding to do so, putting American lives in danger. Where does the madness stop?

There hasn't been a single terrorist threat in this country since 2001 that wasn't orchestrated and funded by the government.
I have nothing against the story, except I would phrase the title differently. It gives the (false) impression the FBI planned and robbed a bank.

Many people arrested by the FBI just have big mouths. They lack the resources to do what they claim they want to do and then the FBI provides the resources. Maybe that is not legally entrapment but it seems like our resources would be better spent catching people who have not only the motive but also the means to carry out a crime.

You are entitled to your opinion, but not your facts. Check the history and then come back.
(On top of all known terrorist attempts, there are also some that remain unpublished).
