Thanks Weijun for the ok on security (Though it still makes me uneasy because 
it smells like a bug, but I guess it's alright). I haven't pushed yet to remove 
the changes to the other files in this Pull Request because the way I did it 
I'd have to force push and that would destroy all the review comments, I'll do 
that once the comments have been fully addressed
