This seems prudent. From what I can see in our account, its a single passwordless click to empty the associated account into the paypal once you have the paypal password. (probably right up to the limit of the so-called "overdraft protection" on the bank account)

I was always more afraid of paypal itself being able to get at the mandatory associated bank account so we created a special account just to link to paypal. Its kept mostly empty most of the time.

It was hell-and-a-half to get the bank to turn off the "overdraft protection" on the account.
