(Warning, the effects may be unexpected) (y or n) Pressing C-g again would cancel the prompt and leave Emacs in single-keyboard state, so the user would not accidentally break the lock. I think that is not hard enough to do by accident. It would cause problems. How about if it displays one message, discards all input, displays another message, then asks for input? That could be harder to do by accident. Maybe it could even discard input twice, separated by one second?
