And if you have any difficulty finding the right sizes of "security bits",
you can chisel off the post in the middle, or drill a hole in a
"regular" torx or allen to make a "security bit". (20 years ago,
"tamper-proof torx" bits were hard to come by, but used on the 5150 power
supply - but those were exposed enough to be removable with a 5WR
Vise-Grips.)
