Hello,

Sorry it may be a question not an issue. From the comment of list method source: // XXX the security check above is not atomic, so in theory a race condition could // result in exposing private data

So how to make security check atomic?

I'm trying to Understand Meteor Todos as well, and I do not know what atomic means, and when there could be a race condition (and of what). I've the same question that @weilitao asked.
