It's pretty poor security to simply flash an accept/decline dialogue box up, which most uses may automatically click on 'accept' anyway. It does nothing for security and just adds another layer of pointless permissions that seems to be getting more and more complicated. Paul Hi Jason,

It does nothing for security and just adds another layer of pointless permissions that seems to be getting more and more complicated.
