Jeep Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System

[ahunt01]

Hi all, I was contemplating getting a Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System put on the Jeep. I have a question that I've yet to find an answer to.
1. Can a thief hot-wire the vehicle even though you have the Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System installed?
If so, then what's the point of the key . The only point I could see, is if in case the thief decides to try to insert a blank key into the jeep, trace the edges of the cyllinders, and take it to a hardware store to get it cut, it wouldn't work...
