Sudo is just another path for the unscrupulous to gain priviledged
access. There are so many anyway.  Why add another?

I don't even store personal data on my system like login names
and passwords, forms, charge cards, etc. Enter by hand everytime.  Yes,
an inconvenience, but a more secure system.

Security is not so much one or two big things, but a lot of little
things you do.
