No, because border crossing crimes are federal crimes and carry a much heftier penalty. In this case, talking about doing something like this wouldn't even be criminal if done orally but digitally it is.

Verbally planning out a crime sounds like criminal conspiracy to me. Just harder to make the case if no evidence is generated.
