This argument does not fly, because if someone can write a "tramp" file
to a directory in your load-path, they can just as easily write
"tramp.el". Random files should not be being written to your load-path,
and you should not be adding inappropriate directories to that path.
Your immediate problem was having ~/.emacs.d in load-path.
