root is more secure than a user account because its not used as a user account! you will not run potentially harmful code from your root account, but from your user account you might. i want to be sure that when i run a script out of my user account that it CANNOT do anything harmful to my system.

i dont think it is! and isnt opensource about options? i probably gotta hack it together myself, because you seem not to be to happy with providing the option....
