LN helps but that's only one angle of many.
I'm more worried in the US about the justice department being used to try to execute a 6102 than the tax collector. But either one can feasibly ask the IC for support. Up until now, those asks have IMO been reserved for legitimate cases (with some exceptions), so I'm not particularly worried, but I'm not convinced the exceptions for those asks won't start to outweigh the legitimate cases in the future.
Some risks though are big, exciting, global, permanent enough that they're worth pursuing 😎
