if you chmod a+x /bin/laden, it means any user can execute /bin/laden.
It doesn't say anything about whether or not /bin/laden can execute
others... If you want to prevent /bin/laden from executing anything
else, take a look into one of those kernel patches which add a firewall-like
feature to system calls (so you can say stuff like "/bin/laden cannot
use exec(), and can only open files in /mnt/afghanistan/").
