Uhm... No, from a normal account you can't sudo at all (obviously), so
there is no window of opportunity -- then again, there is no window of
opportunity if you don't sudo or wait for sudo to time out, or set up
sudoers to require you to type your password every time. Not really a
valid argument, if you ask me -- and I very rarely use sudo, anyway,
only for administration things that I can't do as a normal user (very
rare circumstances).
