Did Paul give up on us? :)

Someone with some knowledge of the design can both tamper, sniff and
spoof most commercially available systems.
What you have to ask is how LIKELY it would be that someone would
actually take that route instead of using a smash-and-grab approach.
I bet 99.99 percent of all burglars stay with the proven brute-force
methods rather than trying to bypass the system.
...and I could probably add a nine or two more.

So for real-life, the built in supervision features in most
systems are plenty good enough. For a Pentagon-class application
you should consider alternatives.
