That’s called an investigation lol. Just because it was the FBI doing it doesn’t mean that there’s needs to be a crime involved. If argue that they’re not idiots because they investigated this. The real idiots wouldn’t have investigated and waited until someone actually tried it.

I suppose that might be somewhat true if it isn’t especially clear why you have that information/interest. Much of the time it’s just a professional discussion akin to one researcher reaching out to another.

Asking questions to find out if something is possible is literally the most basic definition of investigating. Which is what happened. It doesn’t mean that someone’s suspected of a crime.
