Apply pressure to who? At the end of the day, the only people the
government can trust are their own agents.
Serving a "secret compliance" notice on a third party is always fraught
with danger. Okay, I probably can't trust my own government to protect
me, but if the US Government served a compliance notice on me I'd treat
it with the respect it deserved - probably use it as loo paper!
Nobody should trust anybody else more than they have need to - and
especially governments should not trust 3rd-party nationals! It's not
worth it.
Cheers,
Wol
