BB background check concerns

For a BB's background check, there are a couple questions asking if you have an immediate family member who has held a position within a government agency (domestic or foreign) and if said person has had any power over the investment/business-related decisions of the agency... Well I do have an immediate family member who works for a foreign government entity and I had to answer truthfully. The entity is not anything related to business or investment or finance, nor is it some critical regulatory/powerful decision-making government branch. It is however, a government agency of a country that the U.S is not exactly best buddies with, e.g., Russia/China/...Should I be worried?

 

I'm going to be honest, and unlike any other background questions asked here, and say you might have something to worry about. However if that person is not in charge of something critical in regards to business, then I would say that you're probably going to be okay.
