a question about allowing applications on Facebook?

[Dani]

I'd like to add invitations/applications and bumper stickers to my Facebook page, but I have certain security issues. What is the risk of adding applications and allowing them access to my pull my profile information, photos, my friends' info, and other content that it requires to work?

more easily allows hackers to locate certain things on your profile. Also you are allowing marketing groups to more easily target you. It's pretty much giving other permission to certain areas of your account. Remember those apps are not made by FB, just provided for by the people who make them through FB.
