As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

There's a big difference between 'accidental' and 'malicious'.
If someone has the authority to, and goes to the effort of, removing the
trigger (which can't be done unless they can get exclusive access to the
file) then their actions are clearly not accidental.
Basing your architecture on the fact that you can't enforce your own
security rules seems to me to be a bad way to do things.
However, basing your architecture on the assumption that a single RPG
application is going to be the ONLY possible way to update a file when
this may not necessarily remain the case, is probably a bad way to do
things also.
IMO, trigger programs are a fine way to enforce business rules in
heterogeneous environments.
