Olepilot;
I agree 100%, but unfortunately "blame the foreigner" is the unwritten rule in the vast majority of the world, outside of maybe 20 countries or so. Not just flying, but civil law as well. That is a risk we take when we leave our "real world" jobs and head out for some fun an adventure in wild west of contract flying.
I would like to say it is worth it, but then I haven't been "blamed" for anything yet. I am sure I would feel otherwise if it happened to me.
