In the professional security industry we have the term "risk tolerance". You evaluate a risk based on the likelihood of it happening/effecting you and the damages/costs it will incur. You mitigate based on your willingness to take on the costs of time and/or money to prevent it. Is a $15 used Kindle worth being super paranoid that someone put it into the wild with the intent of stealing your account? For the vast majority of people, no. There's always a risk that someone stuck a GPS tracker on your car at any time. Do you do a full inspection for one before you drive? No, because the risk vs the hassle is usually within your risk tolerance, unless you have very specific circumstances.
