Local permissions only allow a bundle to declare to the framework the  
permissions it wants. The framework then makes sure it will never get  
more than that (but maybe less). This is a good way to prevent having  
to audit third party bundles/code before accepting it, but I don't  
think it's a solution to prevent having to setup security.
