Because the PIR can't see through tissues, boxes, balloons, etc.

1- Tamper the PIR.
2- Use and Anti-Masking PIR that sends a trouble if it can't see anything
when in disarmed state.

I prefer using anti-masking pir's with tamper...because you could mask off a
pir without opening it.



An anti-masking PIR wouldn't have helped the OP's customer.  The guy was an
idiot for allowing someone to access the components of his security system
without verifying the "technicians" identification.  We all carry (at least
in BC) government issued security cards, and all my guys wear laminated tags
with their pictures on them.  Our service department contacts the customer
to let them know when they can expect a technican to arrive and we're always
reminding people to ask for proper ID.  I figure this would be a good
"object lesson" and we're going to feature this story in our next
Newsletter.
