Let's consider a moment the risk you're subjecting people to, just with a recommendation based on the value of the things you secure without considering what they need to secure.
I'm not subjecting anyone to anything. I acknowledged that this practice is risky, however these scripts are maintained by a community of other nerds just like every other open source project you enjoy. If you're going to use these proceed with the same caution you would anything else on the internet, but in my experience they are safe.
