Not at all. There are a number of options if you don't trust
checkusers. If you don't trust them to report honestly you can ignore
them. If you don't trust them not to abuse their powers when it comes
to you you can arrange things so that their powers are largely useless
in your case (have say BT or AOL as you ISP). If you don't trust them
not to damage wikipedia you have more of a problem.
