I don't think that's true for .Interface - I believe you can retrieve
blobs which may contain private keys.

It would also stand to reason that to avoid breaking this in the future
something should be done in the *code* to mark things as safe for
anyone. Does DBus provide any mechanism where you could tag properties
in some way and enable permissions based on that, or would it require
another interface?
