I don't *care* what the target is. I can't see the source and verify it's
safety, or lack thereof for myself. Ergo the risk is unacceptable.


I use applications all the time whose source I can't see, and so do you, so that's a red herring. The question is whether using Missing Link the way the developer suggests poses an unreasonable security risk. Please walk me through the process where someone installs Missing Link, then becomes the victim of a security breach. I want a specific, real world scenario, so that everyone following along at home can judge for themselves whether the risk you deem unreasonable is unreasonable for them.
