If all you're worried about is entrapment, you need only ask the person
in question if s/he works for any law enforcement or surveillance agency.
If they lie, then anything after that is entrapment.
I'm not a lawyer but I learned this from my masseuse in SLC UT, where
mixed-gender massage is considered a "sex act for hire" and she was
constantly subject to entrapment.

Not true. Its a common myth, though. I imagine Duncan Frissell or one
of the other lawyers on the list could expand on this.

Please. This is not a way to avoid entrapment. Undercover police lie all
the time, and their lying does not become a predicate for an entrapment
defense.

One shouldn't generalize too much from massage-parlor cases.
