This is a "wishlist" item.
The 'top' command has a "secure" command line option (-s)
I think that it would be useful for find to also have a secure or safe option.
This option would inhibit potentially destructive or system/file altering
actions (eg, prevent -ok* -fprint* -exec* -delete, etc)
This would be useful to simplify the specification of "read-only" find
execution via 'sudo' and similar privilege escalation tools.
