Well, it's unlikely that even the worst operator is going to miscalibrate a screen so poorly that it can't detect the difference between the left 40% of the screen and the right 40% of the screen. You'd have to intentionally calibrate it wrong, and any halfway decent calibration routine should be able to detect someone doing it intentionally bad, or make the assumption that there is a faulty touchscreen and disable itself.
