What's worse is the effect that our wartime policy of fear is having upon our "enemies"... they're afraid of us... and we have ensured that they have little left to lose.
The jaded strategist in me would have you never trust, as that is the avenue by which most of your attacks will be received... but I sent her to the kitchen to make me some curry, so I'll tell you this instead: holding yourself aloof in all cases, distrusting your own shadow, spreading your assets, being alert at all times... is no way to live a good life. Is it safer? Yes... should you avoid endangering yourself when possible? Usually..
But should you check every green banana you buy for mold? I say no. Safety and security are difficult to maintain, and the aggressor always has a major advantage in knowing when, where, and with what an attack is coming.
Civilians should only react to potential danger only when they feel threatened. You felt threatened, and you did what you had to... it was a harrowing experience, and your self-control to not drive over an apparent major threat to your life is admirable

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
