They cannot, however, execute that code. They can feed that code into an external program they've been given access to, but they can't execute it themselves.
I think the writer of this misunderstands "tourist trap."
Tourist traps, at least as I see it, are places or activities that are more expensive than they should be.
For example, a tourist trap in Tokyo is going to the top of SkyTree. It's not something locals can really reasonably afford doing more than once, because it's really expensive. The price is such that basically only tourists would do it.
