The FBI has lured another weak-willed, feckless man into participating in a fantasy terrorist plot. He will spend much of his life in prison, and the FBI will present this as an example of "protecting us".

The FBI will claim that it sets these traps to catch capable and dangerous terrorists in the US, if there were any, and it just happens that confused fantasy terrorists keep falling into them. However, anybody mentally competent enough to be a real danger as a terrorist would be competent enough not to be caught.
