    Trying to or successfully shutting down will quickly disable it. I don’t think the USA is at the point where we should all worry about arbitrary arrests.

      “All” may not need to worry, but there are plenty of people who do experience them.

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
      Because I was not a socialist.
      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
      Because I was not a trade unionist.
      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
      Because I was not a Jew.
      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

      Well, I can confirm from personal experience (me and family) that tourists wanting to enter the US aren’t treated that much differently from criminals.
