What about the 52 (?) uses of SecurityException in these files ?
eg
AWTEventMonitor.java:                } catch (SecurityException e) {
SwingEventMonitor.java:                } catch (SecurityException e) {

The question is, what code would throw that exception ? 
If it is not possible any more, these are no longer needed.
If it IS possible, then they are still needed.
