Go check some of the YouTube videos that show how to rapidly defeat bike locks, then tell us again about paranoia.
And consider how many components can be removed without disturbing the lock. Seats, for instance, especially with quick-adjust clamps. And are you going to spend the time to remove and remount your bags, lights, computer, etc, every time?
It's been a while since I rode a bike to a grocery store, but the folks where I used to live were used to seeing me pushing my bike around in the aisles.
