Theoretically speaking, supposed you lived in a nation during wartime. That you were married and were a parent to two young children. And that the nation claimed the right to indefinitely detain citizens it felt were a threat to national security.

Oh, this doesn't really have to be very theoretical, does it? Aside from the present day United States, it's the story to a powerful movie, Kabei, about a young family in Japan during World War II.

If you haven't already seen it, please see it. First, because it's a good movie. Second, because it should be unsettling if we can draw such parallels between the Japanese government's attitude in the early 1940s and the USA's government's attitude in the 2010s.
