I'm assuming you mean in Zope 3, rather than avoiding this  
possibility in Python, which seems like futile road.

The relatively-quick-and-obvious-to-me-but-not-necessarily-correct  
solution would be to

- make the zope.security.checker._available_by_default data structure  
rebuild itself the same way that the _checkers data structure resets  
in _clear;

- add an API to add a name in zope.security.checker, parallel to  
defineChecker

- make yet-another-zcml-directive to set the name, and use it in  
zope.app.security.

- delete _protections.py and all references to it.
