We use screws the have two small holes in the head, and they came from 
a security hardware company.  You can get them at Hudson fasteners 
online.  They do not sell the screwdriver in stores, and they are not 
quick to take out so even if someone could get there hands on the bit 
they could not quickly remove them.  I have used them on everything 
from pieces to donation boxes.
