Ah, okay, you're right, the false and true cases can both fail with side effects. Maybe for another issue but this method just document that it may fail (with InaccessibleObjectException, SecurityException or NullPointerException) after modifying some of the elements.

As a more general point, I don't think this method is useful since the removal of the security manager. That is, it's motivation was to do a bulk suppressed with just one permission check.
