Beware Christians who disguise suspicion as discernment

We should be grateful when narcissists are exposed and justice follows. But there’s a dark side to increased levels of suspicion, warns Jeff Lucas

Passing through an airport recently, I wondered why I felt on edge. I’ve always felt that airports are emotional black holes – people are only there because they want to be somewhere else – but there was a niggle that I couldn’t put my finger on.

When I reached the security line, all became clear. Airports are now places where overt suspicion hangs heavy in the atmosphere. The fact that we are required to place laptops in one tray and shoes in another is evidence that we are viewed as those who could be carrying a portable nuclear warhead – or something worse, like a bottle of water.
