FBI acting suspicious with terrorists again.

They are spies and peeping toms/janes: What else do you expect from them but suspicious activity?

It was a trap, ded srs.

There are probably a million such suspicious individuals at any given moment. We only hear about the failures. Detecting and then stopping a self-radicalized individual at just the right moment (after he's done something he can be convicted for but before he's caused harm) borders on impossible.

Americans have a bad habit of imagining the US govt. as omnipotent and believing intelligence agencies have access to secret techno-wizardry and miracle people. Then we get dissapointed and invent conspiracies when things don't always work out. The average dude working for intelligence probably fucks up just as much as you do at your job. Thankfully they are very sophisticated institutions but the stakes are also that much higher.

QFE, the EU. the Russians and Chinese have the same exact problem. Except in the West they also have to worry about some random white kids doing it as well.
