Because we are trying to protect the logged in user, where we currently do not
confine that many domains, and even if you are using confined users we do not
prevent a confined user process from ptrace on another user process, since
they could be programmers of admin who need gdb or strace.  I run always as
staff_t but staff_t is allowed ptrace of staff_t, unless the deny_ptrace
boolean is set.
