Thank you. Yes, putting it as 'number one' might seem odd, but to me it makes sense in context. As you describe, my fear would be about being so easily arrested

Thank you. Yes, putting it as 'number one' might seem odd, but to me it makes sense in context. As you describe, my fear would be about being so easily arrested for trivial reasons in general, but the risk (even if it's tiny in comparison) of having my family taken apart, without me having any power to do anything, executed by the world's most powerful organisation, this is right up there with the worst possible outcomes for me personally - as in about equivalent with nuclear war, maybe second only to my wife being raped and murdered. And considering that I would be breaking several State laws with what is considered completely normal healthy behaviour in our culture, I find it completely reasonable to put this as number one reason not go live there, since everything else at the top of that list is both extremely unlikely, not influenced by our behaviour, and also possible outside the US.
