I'm not sure it's correct in generic case - exception it self could be
untrusted code so on my opinion security check have to be done first,
before everything else.

But I'm ok to leave everything as is in this case because it doesn't
make things worth. Value of security check in non-final method is
doubtful anyway.

Thank you for clarification. I'm OK with for loop, but extra comments
there wold be helpful.
