Which in turn works because there are always security considerations - the
closest thing to valid empty security considerations section  we have is one
that says "this entire document is about security". A section that simply says
"there are no security considerations here" is invalid on its face and
indicates insufficient review has been done.

Possible counterexamples:

RFC 2234 [ABNF]:
   Security is truly believed to be irrelevant to this document.

It's not completely irrelevant: ABNF constructions that may be confusing
(of which the RFC mentions several instances) are a possible contributing
factor to security bugs when implementing specifications that use ABNF.
