I agree that forfeiture is a huge problem but I’m missing what Bitcoin adds to this versus, say, just not keeping large quantities of cash. I don’t hear about cops running charges on people’s cards, for example.
But to your question, keeping $1 million in cash, all legitimately acquired, in your house, which could be seized under the flimiest of pretenses, is madness. Bank? Gold? No thanks.
It's going to happen eventually. You might as well figure out how to get used to it. In spite of how the US sometimes is, they have inevitably come down on the right side of history.
