Ok then, Torx plus Loctite and good luck with that Phillips Then you're safe from anyone except Saab drivers with the factory Torx screwdriver kit in the trunk. In all seriousness, I plan on attaching lights to my (soon-to-be-bought) commuter bike with Torx bolts for the added security. I suspect it's just not known to many people, you typically need to buy a bunch of bits in a package in a dusty corner of the hardware store along with a 1/4" driver to use 'em.
