Default doing MSD ignition now...have question

I am in the middle of installing my MSD 6AL ignition box. The instructions say to hook it directly to the battery. I don't feel to good about having constant power going throught he box. What if there is a short or something crzy happens and my car goes up in flames? Is this possible or is am I just being paranoid? If it is possible where else can I get power from? Thanks!

Just put a fuse inline. It won't turn on unless the ignition is on.
