Im paranoid and feel the need to statistically calculate the chance of any contact with "The MAN" will update precentage of being contacted by any LE Agency
If you have had contact please elaborate on what went down but not enough so "The MAN" could ID

Yes please do and why did you not take your own sarcastic advice? but ya Im def LE and new accounts are the way to go to remain less trackable sure you dont get the glamour or respect but who needs that?

This poll is misleading because if you:
A) Got the dreaded Knock and talk.
or
B) Full gloved up and bent over.
Then I doubt you'd be a situation to answer on this poll, unless you're in a jail that contains an internet cafe.

This is a pointless way of assessing your risk.
The SR forums are frequented by SR users.
So you are conducting a poll to see who, if anyone has had problems with the law as a result of SR usage.
This beckons the question, would someone continue to use SR after being busted for using it? Further more if someone stopped using SR as a result of being busted, would they still frequent the forums and thus be able to answer your questions?
I personally believe SR is perfectly safe and the chances of being caught are negligible.
However I think your poll will be biased towards people who think there is little to no chance of being caught as I doubt that if a person was caught they would continue to post here. Obviously there would be exceptions but I think the majority of people would sever all ties with SR if they had been caught in some kind of SR sting.
Its kind of like doing a basic survey gender survey, but doing it at an all girls school and then coming to the conclusion that 99% of the entire population are female.
The location that a survey is conducted can cause an inherent bias, and your survey is being done on the SR forums, but would people still use SR if they had been caught?

There are enough people on the forums that report being in trouble with LE. Some get lucky and only get a notification that the package contents were illegal and as a result were confiscated. Others get the package and within some time police knock on their door with a search-warrant. The time can range from minutes to even days or months. But there are also cases discussed on the forum where people get raided by the cops instead of the package arriving. This even happened to someone who only ordered 1gram of MDMA.
What you should not do is have multiple orders in transit. If they intercept one order they are alerted and watching the mail to that address. When they have 2 packages, possibly from other senders/location it gets way more difficult to claim you are not involved/order them yourself.
"A friend of mine used Silk Road like I did, and yesterday at around 11pm his house was raided by the police. This is UK by the way.
Specifically he was found with a lot of wraps of MDMA (his fault, honestly), and had a missing order of pills from Aakoven." 4 grams MDMA
"I also know of a first hand IRL experience of a raid by federal agents done because of a raiding of aakovens packaging. Order was for 100x pills. "
"I dont want to go into detail.
ordered...
Federal agents busted in.
They waved wire transfers in my face
Asked if i ordered anything from the internet.
Arrested me on another drug they found
Brought me down to federal custody
Dropped the mail chargers because they didnt have enough evidence "
People do, sometimes, get busted!!

Anyone in the u.s experience any types of bust.., Would leo/usps let you keep receiving packages if they knew there was something illegal about that package or suspected something, even tho they still let you keep receiving them with all your contents untouched-inside and outside?

^ I believe ithasbegun's post.
BUT don't believe ANYONE at all.
What is for sure - If you order ANYTHING illegal to a location, it is possible that'
1 - you get your drugs perfectly fine
2- your item gets lost or you somehow get scammed (rare)
3- you get a letter from customs. Your address is now possibly flagged
4- you get a knock from police with a search warrant and possibly get arrested. Get charged with anything they find in the search.
5- ???????????

with 1 being most common and 5 being the rarest. Obv too many variables to say what is rare and what is common though!
