We have a thing here called the car bait program. It's a car that is left unlocked with the sole purpose of being stolen.
Legally the police are in a panic because the argument as to whether or not it is a form of entrapment, is hot topic. In the real world however, and IMO, opportunistic crime is still a crime. If an honest person sees a car that is unlocked with the keys in it he/she would attempt to find the owner or take some other responsible action rather than hop in and take off with it.
So I think Honeypots and bait programs [such as the one I mention] are a good thing.
The powers that be [that we put into power to begin with] think otherwise.

And before anyone says it, let me make it clear, honeypots ARE bait. Exploit scanners will pick them up in a heartbeat because of the pure nature of the honeypot and the pure nature of the exploit scanner. :-)
