ePerhaps a "nodanger(1)" tool (similar to nohup(1)) could provide
protection from that behaviour - to be used with discretion, of course.
OTOH, you could designate a special [e]uid/[e]gid combination (eg. group
== "nodanger" (very imaginative!)) to achieve this; this would also make
it harder for any joe user to exploit this for his/her interest.
