Yea, I follow your thinking. Gut feelings of this kind can be important. And you will never know what horror it was you missed by being careful. It isn't superstition, anyone who has lived long enough would admit to enough times when subconscious or even prescient warnings have kept them safe or made them avoid doing something/going somewhere. Just occasionally you win by re-starting after careful relaxing but nothing lost by listening to your gut. Have a good trip to Laos and sit on your laptop to avoid road mines.
