Every single day hundreds of people are barred from entering or leaving the US, and many of these individuals are held because of some issue or another, whether or not they are guilty of any crime, with the IRS. As the Barrett's case demonstrates, the IRS will do whatever it takes to make your life a living hell if they believe you have done something wrong, even if you haven't.
Pretty much right off the bat bureaucratic processes take over and the entire situation is out of yours and everybody's hands - even the government courts. The Barretts case shows that bureaucrats within the US government have no problem being in contempt of court, upholding the orders of their superiors before the rulings of the judge.
Getting one's assets outside of the hands of the US government, a government that clearly has no problem stealing in broad daylight from its own citizens, is instrumental to living a near worry-free life. Why become one of the 366 people each day, who, in the process of traveling to the US, find themselves passport-less or thrown in jail? As a result, many of these people have their assets stolen from them, and what they have leftover goes to attorneys whose sole purpose was to prove their innocence. What a witchhunt...
And it is only getting worse. The US government is stepping up its controls on travelers to-and-from the US.
