This may be a good opportunity to educate your customer on secure
wireless technology.  Secure, encrypted wireless is in many ways more
secure than hardwired systems.  You can't cut wires where they don't
exist.

If your customer is worried about interference, check into licensed
wireless and stay away from the 802.11 stuff.

We've done numerous projects using wireless technology including DHS
and DoD sites.  Well known examples are the Port of Oakland and
MassPort.
