I'm not a lawyer so forgive me if my understanding of the law is oversimplified. Simply put, doesn't crossing into another state put someone in line for a whole lot more hurt if they are charged with an illegal activity?
Just wondering if the risk v. reward pendulum has swung too far toward the "it aint worth it!" side for traveling ladies, especially for agencies that used to send visitors north? I'm not suggesting that the agencies would close, only that the ladies would stay in their own back yard.
The traveling companions and their agencies have always been at risk for prosecution under state and federal laws, such as the Travel Act, Mann Act, etc. There are such prosecutions. A post below re "rico" lists several US Court of Appeals cases from recent years.
Those in jeopardy simply need to be far more careful now since LE has also had a wake up call this week, and this is an election year. This is risky business, but plenty of people are taking the risks.
An offshore hosting and other services company is in the process of coming together because of this mess, so at least there will be a safe haven for servers in a country where there are not such insane laws.
Interstate agencies and companions have always been easy targets, but low priority to LE.
