The OS is all ready wide open to this sort of attack. Criticizing the OP for asking for this feature illustrates the false sense of security Mac users have simply because there isnt a spyware problem... yet. Apple allows you to hook IOHIKeyboard's _keyboardEventTarget.

Nobody was accusing *you* of wanting to do that, just pointing out that you
were asking for an OS feature which would open the OS to that kind of
attach.
