For (a minor) clarification: You must report all accounts (as you wrote), if the aggregate value of all accounts is over $10k etc etc. (The $10k threshold is not per account...see the instructions here.)
Yes, accurate, my mistake.

Well, the reporting requirements (form TD-90) have existed for at least 15 years, so...how do you feel?

Presumably you'll agree it is less intrusive than a country (FR or CH) that can demand a list of all your worldwide assets (not merely financial accounts), in order to impose a wealth tax ?
I'd prefer not to be taxed by a country I don't live in.

And as you say, they can demand. And they don't hold the power that the IRS does.
