The only thing I can think of is not to have a credit card on file and use gift cards only. However you'll have the same problem but it will be limited to the gift card balance in your account rather than someone going kooky buying unlimited books on your credit card.
Are we talking about the software or the device? Because I just tested it on my PRS950 and it prompts me for my password every time, if I check that option. I don't know whether the T1 works differently.

Also, I have PRS+ installed and all my purchases are over 3G, not wifi. I don't know if that makes any difference - but I doubt it.
