When folks with guns and little sense of humor show up at your door with a sealed court ordered warrant relating to resources you have direct authority over, would you tell them to talk to a retailer for that resource? Oh, and don't forget VeriSign has a contract (cooperative agreement? whatever) involving the USG for the administration of COM/NET.
It doesn't take guns. Verisign will steal domains from any registrar if they receive a US court order. I've seem them do it based on a Nevada default judgement where the client didn't even know there was a legal action under way. If you want to keep your domains, don't use .com or .net.
