From The Other Wiki on Entrapment "Sting operations are fraught with ethical concerns over whether they constitute entrapment."

Entrapment is usually when you try to convince somebody to do something criminal that they wouldn't normally do. A mere question would not be, although it's debated.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
"Underaged children sometimes ask adults to illegally buy liquor and/or cigarettes for them at stores ("Shoulder Tapping"). The police have responded by setting up sting operations with an underaged kid asking an adult to do this: if the adult does it, they're arrested."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that entrapment?
