security scripts diff

[Dmitry Morozovsky]

Dear colleagues,

looking at regular security mails I found that foloowing patch would greatly 
desreases amount of false positive reports; it's totally possible I'm missing 
some vital areas, but my current look at security scripts did not reveal any.

What do you think? Thank you in advance.
