The problem I have with wireless systems is that the easier you make it accessible to the "good guys" the easier it is accessible by the "bad guys".
I've only gone wireless because the previous system obviously wasn't and about five year ago when I had a new wooden floor laid, I noticed the next day the passive sensors weren't working and didn't have the heart to ask the floor layer to come and rip his work up for what was probably a 'pinched' wire/cable.
