Right, "warn + loop forever" is one alternative where you could at least
keep the system alive to some degree.

Maybe. Or it might just lock up the machine.

Yes, regarding the security concerns it might be a bit better that way. 
(no security expert, so I cannot judge ...)

So, instead of saying "No, you can't have a pony, stupid", you would say 
"well, let me talk to your mother about that (WARN)" ... and just never 
reply to the real question ... :)
