With the dollar falling and indications abroad that the ratings of U.S. Treasuries might be cut below AAA if the FED allows FNM and FRE access to the discount window, it would appear that the FDIC guarantee might be the least of your worries.
Still you might be well-served by keeping your deposits under $100,000 per account including C.D.'s. Of course, maintaining cash reserves outside the country might also be a good idea.
