Comment(by rransom):

 I should also add here that adding a crapload of unnecessary complexity to
 everything other than AppArmor in order to make AppArmor look less
 ineffective as a ‘security’ feature is utterly stupid.  If AppArmor can't
 block access to some AF_LOCAL sockets without blocking access to all of
 them, then AppArmor needs to be fixed.

 And then we'll finally be assured that TBB-Firefox on Linux can't do
 anything worse than send a log of my keystrokes out over Tor and run and
 control arbitrary GUI ‘apps’ on my X display.  How comforting --
 '''NOT'''.
