For a guy who is usually propagating anti-federal government rhetoric, you (BJA) surely are being inconsistent here to be giving the fed govt the benefit of the doubt in their policing shenanigans. 

This is one of the frequent themes that I have witnessed with supposed libertarians who will want to get rid of the fed govt when it comes to its role in providing a vast array of social services - however, when it comes to various policing functions or property protection functions, some anti-govt folks seem to harbor some kind of blindness that the federal government is more likely to follow rules.  Maybe I am being too hard on libertarians, here, and this inconsistent viewpoint is merely yours, BJA.

You are adjusting the facts to attempt to fit your assertion, but it still remains quite fantastical to assert that any major discount will be achieved through a mass sale of BTC.

To me, entrapment is encouraging someone to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed. Now, I disagree with some of the examples given (regardless that they are supposedly from authoritative sources. Selling someone drugs because they ask for them for their sick mother is entrapment) but I would say that advertising on the pre-existing localbitcoins.com would not. Hanging out at a libertarian political meeting and trying to sell bitcoins to the participants would be however.
