No, I guess you can't, but perhaps his/her supervisor can.  I am serious in
saying that while you may be tasked with providing a software wall to stop
this action, the most efficient way to really stop it is by dealing with the
people.  If the customer doesn't care, then why would they ask you to
prevent it?  If they do care, perhaps they will see that there's a better
way than lots of coding.  Better mousetraps often just make smarter mouses,
and then you still have the root of the problem in place after all that
work.
