B. it is really talking to another "secure" object (System internal or
application internal)
Objects are not secure. Logins are secure. The objects in the applications you use can't do anything that you don't have authorization to do.

I've been recently asking myself the same question as Adam (see the 'patching' thread).

A very concrete concern is this: Can one write an Input Manager that spies on a password text field and then saves (or even mails) what it sees? I haven't found the time to try this, yet. AFAIK writing an Input Manager is not very difficult (probably like Services).
