This reminds me of beginning cryptology classes where almost everyone 
comes up with an "unbreakable encryption routine" which is quickly 
shown to be an elementary and extremely easy "code" to break.  Programs 
in linux that do not do such neat things as protect files from 
corruption, free up or hold memory when needed and otherwise provide 
security features are objectionable to me.  Too many crashes when there 
is no security.  Fast fingers are a programmers worst enemy.  Security 
features limits the damage they can do.
