If fermenting without an airlock I'd be more concerned about crawling and flying things falling into the fermenter. Attracted by the sweet smell of fermentation you can easily imagine them crawling into your outlet pipe, dropping dead through suffocation and ending up in the beer!
Now, now, don't be daft. Loose fitting lids (if I still used buckets), cotton wool, or (as in my case) pneumatic silencers, keep all the biggish stuff out. Anything smaller (and it would have to be small to navigate cotton wool or pneumatic silencers - the latter often made of sintered metal) will not get past the outflow of CO2, even if trying to leg it in.
 
Actually, perhaps not so daft? I've tried a few times to remove a dead fruit fly from my LCD telly screen. Eventually I noticed it's not on the outside of the screen, it's somehow got on the inside. That's annoying.
