1) The FBI are monumentally stupid. In a technical sense, and in a practice-of-law-enforcement sense. They're beat cops without the experience and too much power over red tape. Generally expect them to treat you like a rookie detective who read a manual about tricks to coerce consent from perps.
2) Neither warrant canaries, nor giving the FBI information on how to track your work, is not going to help you. They don't care if you do cooperate, they only care if you give them something.
3) If they really wanted to abuse you and your family, they would just do it. There is no point in thinking up these scenarios and putting yourself through hell. You have to move on with your life. If you think the gov't might be interested in you, sure be prepared, but unless you're going to spend your time working connections and getting government influence to have leverage in a future confrontation: let it go.
