Bad Things could surely be done; but if the attacker has access to send signals to the user's emacs process or write files in the user's ~/.emacs.d directory, has a terrible security breach not already occurred? The notion of an attacker gaining access to a running Emacs session is certainly bad, but I'm unsure whether the proposed idea really worsens the risk in principle? -Phil
