I'm not worried about FINCEN at all; at least not in the year 2013.
Our more immediate threat is more hidden than that... The central bankers themselves, like Bernanke and his EU equivalent, who cannot be happy with what they are witnessing here.
The only question is how threatened they feel by BTC; and obviously to date the answer is "not much."
But if & when they strike, it's not going to be by asking FINCEN to do their dirty work... They don't want any such paper trail.
Now if they haven't attacked by the time BTC is 1% of the global economy, then FINCEN or more likely the Secret Service, IRS, or even the DHS could get involved... All it will take is a big terrorist bust where they found evidence of the terrorists being funded by bitcoin... Or perhaps massive tax loss blamed on bitcoiners avoiding taxes. Either way, both could be fabricated evidence, and we'll see some example sentences handed out to individual criminals first before we piss them off enough to take action.
