That is a tricky line, because I’ve heard entrapment allegations when it comes to many supposed terrorist cells post-9-11; and I’ve also seen plenty of writers joke about how they hope no one’s monitoring their internet searches because they might get the wrong idea; but otoh writing down your fantasies about murdering a specific person you know (never mind *your own spouse*) seems like a pretty big red flag. There was an article a few months back about a minor (possibly self-published) mystery writer, arrested for the murder of her spouse, which mentioned she’d written an article for a writer’s magazine some years earlier titled “How To Murder Your Spouse,” and that seems more tenuous, but it’s possible they have real evidence and journalists covering the case simply jumped on her published article as a sensational hook plus the only info publicly available until the case comes to trial.
