How massive would a black hole have to be to swallow a person
As I understand it, very small black holes have very small and close event horizons, and wouldn't necessarily pose a gravitational risk (I know they give off huge amounts of energy, but let's leave that aside for the moment). Assuming that our people have advanced alien technology to keep them from being incinerated by the radiation, what is the minimum mass that a black hole would need to be to actually suck a human being into it, and how close would that human have to come to it? Note, the human in question does not have to survive being torn apart by the gravity as they cross the horizon.
