And the policy is tight enough. You need to not allow root shells or most
processes the ability to read the keys out of memory or to write memory
that will change how things work. I don't think targeted policy is locked
down enough to stop that even if you don't allow root to disble selinux.

Yeah, I know about one guy that offers a root password if you ask. I am
not sure what policy he is running on that machine.
