If you have to enter passwords as a regular user to go ahead and try to
do things, then you have an additional layer between you and the actual
execution of "rm -Rf /" as root, and unless you have a keylogger
monitoring all of the terminals (which requires root privilege) it's
kind of hard to install a system-wide key logger that would start up
before you login to your user account and get your sytsem password.  If
it's started up in your shell at login, then it will be an unaccounted
for process in the process list and be caught at some point; for some
sooner rather then later.
