As you can see below, I work for a place that has a lot of security measures
in use. One of these is a keypad for entering PIN like identification numbers.
You press a start button which randomly enumerates the keypad with a different
 sequence each time, thereby eliminating the over-the shoulder eavesdropper.
You also have to be pretty much dirrectly in front of the keypad to view the
numbers.
I'm sure these are more costly than the standard telephone type keypads, but
would not expect them to be cost prohibitive, if the ATM company wished to
advertise this exceptionally good machine design.
