Whats an security edit btw? If it is something meant to turn possibly
insecure data into 'secure' then, no I would still object.
Why? Because its a bad example of "default permit". Its always better
to have a whitelist - even more so when its so easy to do.

Its just a habit you develope - if you never do it right, how would you
know when and how to do it right when you need to?
