I am always amazed that people think shutting off a security
something-or-other for some-amount-of-time can be considered safe.

It takes virtually the blink of an eye to get compromised.

If you need to turn off a security feature to do something, then there's
something wrong with that /thing/ that required it.  It could simply be
crap programming, or it could be malicious.  And even crap programming
can be destructive outside of its own files.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
