Hi,
I can only speak from my own experience, I have BP.
When I was less stable than I am just now, paranoia was a really big part of my life. When I get really down, I get paranoid too. I get fleeting moments of paranoia. My therapist once likened it to OCD, in as much as I fixated on a thought and couldn't let it go. For example, when I was first ill, I was paranoid that people I know were 'watching' me via the internet. No matter how ridiculous I knew that thought to be, I couldn't drop it. I used to post things on forums, then delete them, or write in code. However, I am still very wary and I still sometimes think people watch me....but I have stopped caring!
I think paranoia is part of depression, so really I would imagine it could be part of BP and BPD.

hope this muddled up answer is some help!

Hippy
