n00b hardware question:

What is "tamperproof torque"?

Hmmm..Something screwed on so friggin' tight that you can't get it apart? That would make it tamperproof

Actually I have no idea what he was meaning, but I took a stab at it anyway😛
 
See the holes in the ends of the tools? Can't buy those just anywhere.


...............edit................
And busting the center post out of one of those type screws is very hard - knows from experience.)
 


<< Such as THIS

Why is it called "tamperproof"?
>>



Because you can't take them out using readily available tools (ie flat/phillips head screwdrivers).

The PCs at work use a single tamper resistant screw to keep people from walking out with CPUs/memory.

They won't stop the truly determined thief (ie nothing a dremel can't solve), but they're enough of a deterrant to prevent a lot of damage/theft, & relatively cheap to use.
