You did not factor in that your current situation has much less chance of you being shot or executed for a crime you did not commit.

I can see this will make me very popular, but quite a lot of the employees at an Italian GE acquisition I worked with for a while had this attiutude and refused to travel to the USA.

I’d worry more about street violence, the regular shootings, cost of healthcare. Then yeah criminal justice and civil forfeiture. All these things are of the low probability completely fuck up your life nature (for the privileged who can earn the goods SWE money, worse if you are poor or subject to racism of course)
