Of course, you actually don't want to use the sequence (pause) +++
(pause), because that will produce really confusing results if someone
ever tries to invoke it over a modem that recognizes that.  Of course,
a modem connection isn't all that secure anyway because it's easy to
tap, but someone might still consider themselves secure enough despite
that.  On the other hand, an in-band SAK sequence over the phone would
be a dead giveaway to someone wathing that you're about to type
something sensitive, like a password.
