JQuery: Remove JS after defining event listener but before listener is triggered

I've got a question that searching did not actually yield any results. I apologize if this has been asked in the past.

I'm trying to define an event listener, and immediately remove the JS after defining the event listener. The problem is, I want the removal to take place prior to the event taking placing. Is this possible? I read in the JQuery 1.4 documentation that detach() is like remove, but maintains JQuery data. Is this a viable solution? Are there downsides to removing the code which places an event listener prior to the event taking place?

The reason I'm trying to do this is for a very small amount of added security. Sensitive fields are already masked, no one can gain access to anything sensitive per se. I just have PHP generating a decent amount of JS, and I don't want the temptation of "inspect element". If they do actually see it, it's not a huge deal. I'd just prefer to remove it if possible.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
