Actually, one might be able to program an answerback sequence that e.g.
contained a hostile command, then triggered the terminal to send said
command.  Depending on how the particular model implements screen
content send, it might be possible to inject malicious commands via that
path too.

There are other forms of objectionable behavior.  In some environments,
causing the terminal to make a lot of noise, for example, could be an
issue.  Send your real VT100 the sequence "ESC [ 1 4 5 q" in such a
place, and the enjoy the panic of figuring out how to stop it.
