If I can compromise some script used to setup an environment from
which you inherit your environment and you're not deliberately and
methodically building your environment from scratch, then I can place
anything I like in your environment. This does not automatically
require a local-root compromise, although it does require careless
administration.

Everything is hidden until someone looks for it. You're assuming that
people look by default, 'jpenny' is assuming they don't.
