I recently got an ADP1,
one of the first applications i tried is Terminal Emulator by Google.

Entering 'su' at the prompt is sufficient to get a root shell, without  
any password.

Isn't that a security issue?
For example, can't another application obtain the same privileges and  
do whatever on my phone?
Moreover the only 'permission' required by the terminal app is  
'network access',
'root access' is not mentioned..

I suppose this is possible for ADP1 only,
but since i use mine as a main phone, can i turn this off?
(i.e. require a password at least)

Ciao
