    "Will I be extradited for having had sex with a 16-year-old (illegal in the US)? How about drinking alcohol in public, which is illegal in many countries (Saudi Arabia for instance), or hell - buying alcohol at the tender age of 15 (illegal in the US)? How about having had sex before I was 18 (also illegal in the US)? Having had sex outside of marriage (probably illegal in Iran)? Having had anal sex while there was a third party in the sexual congress (illegal in the UK)."

    I don't know about extradition, but theres *definitely* room for a great reality TV show in there!

    Who would have thought it would be the U.S. that became the world government?

    Been a bit out of touch for the last hundred-odd years, have you ?

    Age of consent is determined by state law, not federal law, so you'll have to wait for the individual states to start extradicting foreigners.

    On the otherhand, if you were just trying to point out how you've had sex, then point taken.

    I'll be extradited from the US to China for violating their censorship laws.
