You can certainly turn this check box off. But, obviously, you take your security into your own hands when you do so. You need admin privileges to turn it off though (standard authentication dialog), so at least there's some protection against unwary users.

As I said in a previous post, it's the nosuid mount option that's the problem here, not the owners flag, and so even with the owners flag enabled, you still have some protection.
