Is this in an area (job and location) that would regularly put you in harm's way? I can understand your wife's fears about moving over there, especially with the image of Americans that people in the middle east have right now. But if you're in a 'safe enough' area (we know how flawed that statement is), then things should be fine. And for that money!! Damn!
Like Todd said, just carry a big frieken gun!
... I think a Desert Eagle would be a nice choice
