We're all aware of the risks of keeping our coins on online wallets and exchange wallets, but many of us still keep our coins on our own devices.

Are we keeping our devices secure? Its instinctual to not leave your fiat money wallet unattended in a public place but what about your bitcoin wallet? Are you leaving leaving the laptop you're writing your novel on the table at Starbucks when you go the bathroom? The laptop with your electrum wallet, your life savings.

Where does the line between paranoia and reasonable physical security meet?

What for one might seem reasonable for another it might seem complete madness. Its just a matter of perspective, some people will think you are crazy for doing so much work to secure some coins and others will still think you can do more. I think watching out to what wi-fi you connect when you go to a public space or having a good antivirus, etc its just the smart thing to do.
