detailed audit often turns out that it's a leaker
+hardware: performs unusual hardware ops which may take long,
+ or even hang due to hardware or firmware bugs
Interesting example of "interactive" applet which is nevertheless can be
(and is) NOEXEC is "rm". Yes, "rm -i" is interactive - but it's not that typical
