I agree with you that it is safer inside the intake, but it has been 
done by automakers.  My Suburban has throttle body injection (TBI).  It 
has two huge injectors about an inch or two above a two plate throttle 
body.  This is surrounded only by your classic american donut shaped air 
filter and double metal saucer shaped air box.  TBI was used on most 
every V8 (except corvette) in the late 80s.
