I don't see how you could spy on your competition by using their analytics code - what you could do though is render their data useless if your own data gets mixed in.

wood? trees?
you're worried about a competitor potentially spying on you, yet you willingly give google all your data?

Thing is, it is Google analytics that issues you with the id number for your site code.
As far as I am aware there is no way to input your own choice of id number so as to steal someone else's stats.

I never chose to give google analytics any stats, we were already signed up when I joined the company. Still I can't see too much harm in it.
What is the worst that could happen?
What I am more concerned about is that:
1) we spend with adwords on our target key terms.
2) we are working to get page 1 natural listings in the serps.
Google knows these two things. I bet it might be tempting not to give us P1 listings so as to maintain the income from adwords!
That could happen possibly?
They certainly have the data!
