It's easy to find a group of religious people and motivate them to violence. The FBI is a bit like Hamas or Hezbollah, radicalizing people, offering support and encouragement to terrorism, but worse because presumably those organizations are sincere and don't go "lol, jk. You shouldn't have taken the bait. Now you're fcked, friend"
I think you have a distorted view of how an investigation like this one typically begins. They usually begin with concerned friends/family/neighbors/coworkers, etc, informing police of valid concerns. Experts are consulted and ultimately assigned to verify those concerns. If those experts see a conspiracy in the making, the shit hits the fan.
You seem to imagine an entirely different scenario as being typical, with much emphasis on "imagine": Agents out looking for targets of opportunity, to keep the workflow moving. I think the work comes to them, by the truckload.
