PAM itself should be pretty secure, but what you are trying to achieve
isn't. There is a reason behind that password prompt. You don't want
anyone who gains access to your account (daemons, scripts, ...) to have
root access right away without ever asking for a password. If you don't
want to type yours that often use sudo -s.
