Andre, get a fucking clue. If you claim that your "filtering" provides any security - you are making fradulent claims. End of story.
Fact of life: process with EUID 0 can bypass your "protection" easily. IF filtering is useful for some reasons, these reasons have nothing to security.
Again, by mentioning security considerations among the reasons you are harming yourself - it's kinda hard to take you seriously if you do not understand the basic stuff. It's not like we didn't have that conversation before...
