Nothing, in my experience, is possible to enforce. You will always have those who can, through ingenuity or whatever, can circumvent the wire. But you still keep those others out there out.
A good example is the club. When it came out for cars it was pretty good at keeping a lot of thieves away. Yet the pros would still get your car. So was it useless? Not at all. Was it a panacea? Also not at all.
Sometimes it's hard to find that middle ground, I guess.
