For most programs, death before confusion is the right answer. 
If the program is part of a security system, even more so.

Consider electronic building locks. When the power fails, do you 
open the doors or leave them locked? I think the solution 
generally used is to leave the building locked except to those 
who have a physical key. Similar solutions can be used for 
computer security systems.

Cheers - Bill
