Where is it positioned to be able to see
*underneath* the persons other hand, that
is covering the pad as they enter their PIN?


Don't be silly.  If they covered the pad with their hand,
they wouldn't be able to find the right keys to press, so
they are expected only to shield the pad from side views.

I cover the keys in such a way that every angle is covered, and manage to hit the right ones.

Anyway, then cameras are there to get a glimpse of the signatures people add to the receipts, aren't they?
