I think it's more important to strongly recommend that they don't try any freewheeling on the way home.
Given that many people won't have experienced either fixed OR foot retention before, it could be argued that it's more dangerous to spring both on them at once. "Ooh dear, all this constant pedalling is a bit weird, I'd like to stop for a bit, I'll just take my foot off the bike...", etc.
It's an interesting question, anyway.
And I'm definitely with Aleksi, bike shops would be flogging the anodised MKS clips along with the rest of the bike if they thought they could.
