Sometimes we learn lessons we probably shouldn’t--all those times we lock the barn door after the cows have already fled. So much of air travel seems to be suffering from this syndrome, like the obsession with shoes that comes from a single incident decades ago (we were there for the Paris shoe bomber, so we get the paranoia, but still...). Random violence can strike anywhere--that’s why it’s called random--and ultimately we have no protection from it. Except to shop elsewhere for a while (we’ve been visiting the Chinese markets in Cerritos) and wait for memories to fade.
