URL shortening services: not secure at all

Were they supposed to be safe? How can they be classified as "safe" or "unsafe?" It's like calling tar or zip utilities insecure because the archives produced might contain malware.

http://safe.mn/, for example, is doing checks on both the URL and the content. If the content cannot be scanned (too big, server too slow, local URL), visitors are warned that the link was not checked.
