I am not aware of any way to disable the entire security system.

If you remember, the transponder in the key fob, the immobilizer under the driver's seat, and the ECU/DME all have to communicate to enable the car to start. If you removed power to the immobilizer, then the ECU won't allow the car to start (which makes sense because then a car thief could defeat the wireless transponder portion of the security system by simply removing a fuse).
