Repeatedly. And the answer is always the same - "how can you tell the
difference between a good and a bad root user?". root can build,
change, load and unload modules, whether on this session or on the next
reboot. There is no way to distinguish between an authorised root user
and an "unauthorised" root user, a root by any other name has the same
power.
