I'm not sure what you're saying (I have a very limited knowledge of
PolicyKit), but it appears to be "once you lower security for the clock
functions -- using the root password of course -- it stays lowered". Is
that correct?

If so, in what way is this more serious than, say, removing the root
password entirely? I'm not trying to be confrontational, it's just that
so far you haven't really explained your point.
