My thought exactly. The Apple world is kept pretty tightly controlled which has its plusses and minuses but one of the big plusses is that if someone can break through Apple's security and start messing around with their stuff on devices that are playing by Apple's rules (i.e. not jailbroken) it's more Apple's problem than mine!
Apple has more money than God - they can and do hire the best in the world so I'm pretty confident nobody's going to break their system anytime soon. The fact that it usually takes a long time for simple exploits / jailbreaks to come out after each new revision is a testimony to how robust their platform is. Jailbreak 9.0.2 was an anomaly and likely involved a known vulnerability that Pangu had been aware of for a while and was just sitting on to see if it got patched or not. When it didn't, they released their JB. Now of course it's fixed and nobody has (to my knowledge) been able to break 9.1.x
