I think this is beyond the scope of what ls should care about. du doesn't have such a check. Does the shell perform a check before tab completing? If there are evil filenames laying about, they are going to hit the terminal at some point. There's no way we can insulate every program, and insulating some random selection of programs doesn't offer real security.
