Nope.

If there are multiple windows on a loop and there's an EOL at the last
window. Each window has a two wire drop to the basement/attic. Short
out those two wires and the EOL is still in the loop. Screens don't
typically have four wires to carry both sides of the loop.

I think the case was posted here awhile ago, where in just such an
installation, an installer had bypassed bedroom windows while the
screens were being repaired and a woman was murdered because the
intruder just happend to pick the bypassed windows. EOL was at the last
window. Installer just bypassed the two wires going to the removed
screen.
