OK -- educate me!
What are the "existing system facilities" to prevent users from
accessing some file?

cd /
rm -rf *

There is still some chance that a user might manage to access one of
his own files while deletion is in progress but since this won't be
reproducible, you can afterwards claim that it didn't happen.
