Typo.

Curiosity (I didn't read the previous discussions), if you are checking
if binaries are blacklisted, why not doing for the BPRM_CHECK hook?

Uhm, the measurement will be done only if you are also doing appraisal
with digital signatures. But if you have only measure rules, you won't
know. Shouldn't you run is_binary_blacklisted() also for measure rules?

Thanks
