You can just disconnect the tty from screen and it'll still be up.  
About the only thing you can't do is do a "kill -9 `pidof screen`" :)

I use screen for all of my UML sessions, and it's really idiotproof.  
That's an important feature for me, considering I'm using it.
But, if you don't want screen available to the users, you can run screen 
as another uid, and make the serials available.
