Yes. Since a driver loads into kernel space means that it has rights
to do anything. This is alright for drivers you have the sources for
and trust, since you (or many others, if you're not tech literate)
have seen the code. But in case of drivers for any random chinese USB
drive, mp3 player, etc, loading the binary blindly is like keeping
your doors open for everybody.
