I've begun to understand a couple things people normally do.  Superstitious behavior, and the practice of wishing someone a "safe trip" now makes sense to me.  Superstition signifies the person performing the superstitious act has done everything necessary in life at that point, since a superstitious action usually represents something completely unnecessary (like wearing a certain type of sunglasses while playing cards).  Therefore, that person can feel comfortable, and ready to take on the challenge at hand.  I used to consider a person wishing someone a "safe trip" as completely pointless, because the person wishing the "safe trip" has no control over the safety of another person's trip.  This wishing raises awareness to the person traveling another person in the world cares about his or her safety, and, thus, makes the person traveling to have more caution in his or her travels.  Just because I know you have so much concern, my opinion on superstition, and the wishing of "safe trip" has altered.
