Never say never, as they say... but that's my 2 <insert currency> worth.

It's Jail broken phones that
could be targeted not unlocked ones. Unlocking only frees you from the provider. Unlocked phones use iTunes in exactly the same way as locked ones.
I would just enjoy the phone and ditch the paranoia.....
