United States: Some prominent BNFs are officially on anti-terror watch lists due to overzealous investigators or blatantly amoral politicians trying to be seen "doing something about the Fen." Subsequently, they have difficulty getting OFF the lists when the political climate stabilizes after Rudy's term.
Known characters on the "terror lists:"
Vulpine Fury
Most of the crew of the Gnarlycurl Wave Convoy, Shuko, Lechevalier, etc.
The Professor
Tellingly, the Junior Senator from New Hampshire got his office by ramping up anti-Wave hysteria and, not incidentally, setting up Vulpine Fury by indirectly providing Eljay with his "seed strain" so he'd have a "Media Devil" to trot out and raise fear.
Mexico:
Hoo boy, what a kettle that one is. The time frames we're looking at have, in our timeline, Narcotraficantes assassinating competent cops, DAs, etc., pretty much at will. So, officially? The Mexican government toes the N. Am. party line about handwavium to keep their relationship civil enough to get US aid against the organized crooks. What local Policia do OTOH....

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
