If this is the concern that request to check.torproject.org might 
compromise security, this is the clear indication that TorBirdy/TBB 
aren't adequate for the requirements. Clearly, such people should switch 
to VM isolation, and there is no need to ever go to check.torproject.org 
from there, and there is no risk even if one does.
