Why would you think it's any less secure than your localhost (TCP)
entry?
It's fairly easy to configure a Unix-domain socket to be *more* secure
than TCP, because you can use file permissions to limit which other
users can even connect to it. A lot of paranoid admins use only Unix
socket connections and don't even enable the postmaster to listen on
TCP. I don't know of anyone who considers TCP more secure than local.
