What you describe is suspicion, not paranoia. The true scientist is suspicious of all results not verified by himself. The sceptic is suspicious of anyone who states something without having proven it to them. They're not afraid of them.

Paranoia is an unhealthy obsession with fear, a chronic state of fear. As you said - a "someone's out to get me" complex :)

Hang on, I was going somewhere...

Ahh yes. My original point was that this "paranoia" that exists right now isn't at all healthy. For various reasons. I realise there is a reason, but is it really useful to put yourself in one unhealthy frame of mind to relieve another situation?
