Why? It has many times been said that only TC could make it really
impossible, and never that without it would even be hard. When you
install the system, you do whatever you want with it, and nothing forces
you to give up the capabilities to any part of the TCB...

I'm not sure it is possible if the user is downloading it. How does an
external (that is, downloaded) program would know that the capability it
is given to check opacity is not faked?
