That's a fundamental problem with smart-card readers without built-in
PIN pads.  Smart-card systems relying on PINs should have PIN pads in
the readers, as trusted hardware.  You could still be vulnerable to
some MITM scenarios involving a trojan horse on the host computer
acting as middle-man *with* a PIN pad, of course.
