I've come to realise over the last few years that this is ridiculous, and that I'm missing out by being overly cautious. I've not been yet but I hope to in the near future.

That's partially why some of my family don't ever want to visit the US. I've tried telling them that they are being ridiculous and paranoid. But each to their own.
I definitely want to visit as well.
As much as I know that it is a bit on the paranoid side, it's understandable, when you think of the tourist crimes that happened in Florida a few years back.
