How is one of the most subtle bits of foreshadowing in cinematic history an epic failure of a line?

i think the point the OP is making is that te brief conversation goes against the title of the movie!! should it have been called black mail then? thats the point hes making. Actually those two lines should have been edited out.

Technically it *is* blackmail as the term Entrapment only applies to law enforcement agents, which Connery's character isn't.
At best, he's working on behalf of the law, but he's not one of them.

However, in an oh-so-cunning twist, CZ-J *was* initially trying to entrap Connery in her guise of insurance investigator, but it turns out she was the one being entrapped all along...

So, swings and roundabouts, but all just an excuse to give Connery a 'cool' line.
