You are probably not safe if you still live in America.
Why?
1) For 'more traditional security' you want your non-US registrar to be ICANN certified.
2) If they are ICANN certified, then the US gov can probably still 'get to you'.
ps. I would feel much better if someone could convince me I'm wrong about all American domain holders being in serious danger, even if they use non-US registrars.

Finally, would people living outside of America, and using ICANN certified registrars be safe?
