Suspicious Package?

I suppose you should "trust" what's up on the Apple Store but I do get some things from other places:

When you’re downloading a PKG file from a reliable source, you really have nothing to worry about, but you might still need to grab them from other sources now and again. With Suspicious Package, you can open up any PKG file in Quick Look (select the file and press the Space bar) to peek inside and get a better understanding of what you’re installing. Most of us won’t need this too often, but it’s nice to keep around for those moments when you have to install something a little shady. Of course, there’s a little irony that Suspicious Package is a PKG file itself, but it looks good to us.

Oh, shoot; I meant to put this on the Tech side!

Actually, you don't need any special app to see what's in a ".pkg" , nor an ".app", either. All you need is the control (or right) click and select "Show Package Contents". Lots of files with lots of 'strange' suffixes will open fine in TextEdit, also. Lots of these 'special' files are nothing more than text files with developer assigned suffixes to help assure their own app is the one that opens/uses them.
