I think typing:

lynx -source http://install.nessus.org | sh

really isn't any more dangerous than the next option of downloading
nessus-installer.sh and running it. All are jointly affected by
man-in-the-middle attacks/etc. 

In fact, nothing short of signed (e.g. GPG) files really prove they haven't
been fiddled with...

Just a FYI...
