Cargo doesn't 'fall off' a blockchain. It's cryptographically locked in. Insecure in what sense? That the data isn't your preferred use case? A JPEG in a witness field is exactly as secure as a Lightn...

Sorry, I was trying to use the bridge analogy to describe spam effects on the Blockchain and obviously didn't do a good job ๐Ÿ™‚

What I meant to say was when spam gets into the blockchain it bloats utxo set and the the size in a harmful way. Some of the spam generates unspendable utxos that need to be kept forever and the size od the blocks consisting of financial transaction is generally much smaller then a block with spam transactions.
I tried to poorly describe this by saying that spam cargo is insecure as in parts of it fall of the truck and stay on the bridge.

The facts are spam is determental to utxo set and chain size whether you or I like it or not.

In afditiom, BIP 110 doesn't decide who gets to cross the bridge based on the cargo content, but the cargo size.
