Sure I do. The person walking through the door could mug me, getting a free first punch at me because my hand is on the door.

The question is, what are the odds? Most people walking through the door don't do that to me.

But if the police come to your door, what are the odds that they're going to treat you unfairly? I suspect, higher than the odds that the person I hold the door for is going to punch me. Are the odds with the police unacceptably high? For me, no. (But then, first, I've never yet been treated unfairly by the police, whereas at least three times I've received better treatment than I objectively deserved. And second, I'm white and fairly conservative in appearance, so I'm probably going to get as much benefit of the doubt as anyone ever does.)

What are the highly likely penalties for an assailant attacking you in broad daylight like that, in a society under rule of law?

Now, what are the penalties to the FBI treating you unfairly during a surprise visit?

Further-- in the extremely unlikely event of getting punched in the face in broad daylight because you held the door open for somebody, what's it like to recover? Keep in mind that the public at large, law enforcement, and the court system would very likely all be on your side as you seek medical care, justice and remuneration.

Same question for FBI treating you unfairly after entertain their surprise visit without counsel. What does a recovery from that look like, and who would you likely have on your side?
