We don't. But similarly we don't know if we're going to be hit by a car
on our way to the market, either. While some will deny it, we all depend
on faith -- we don't wear kevlar on the way to the store, because we have
faith that we won't be shot; we don't wear a hardhat at the store because
we have faith that the lighting fixtures aren't going to fall on us. If I
see a sign that says, "Product of Elbonia", I have faith that that's true.
It might not be; but that lighting fixture might fall on me, too.
Sometimes you just have to leave the house without the kevlar vest.
