Monkeywrenching day to day harassment and lies is a constitutional duty, aiding and abetting terrorists during a manhunt is treason. Our problem is that we can't really know what is real or not until things get looked into for a considerable period of time after an event. It is wrong to assume they are all false flag events, and it is also wrong to disregard the likelihood of a false flag or entirely made up event used as justification for getting people to consent to a reduction in rights. Extortion and con games surrounding false accusations or false reports are the meat and potatoes of common law enforcement techniques these days, and that's the barrier to success for everyone involved, sometimes even the terrorist.

The real treason in these situations is when authorities abuse the public trust and commit crimes and rights violations which accompany the intent to lie about the severity of what is going on, like pulling the fire alarm in a movie theater to get everyone outside for a narcotics search (they used to do that in the Rocky Horror Picture Show). The difference is, this shit is serious, and we cant have a bunch of lying bullshit pranksters playing stupid games over it.

Just as I have had people banned here and at another forum I moderate for pranking us with bad intel, the same needs to happen on the other end. The issue is, I doubt the current legal framework within the government agencies tasked with fighting terrorism is capable of sufficiently dealing with a fair and equitable system for punishing those who make false calls on that.
