This argument does not fly, because if someone can write a "tramp" file to a directory in your load-path, they can just as easily write "tramp.el". Random files should not be being written to your load-path, and you should not be adding inappropriate directories to that path. Your immediate problem was having ~/.emacs.d in load-path.
