The computer equivalent of walking down the hall in an apartment building
jiggling all the knobs to see if any have been left open. For that, any
reasonably secure lock will do.

Still... if the miscreant has an array of tools he can use, blocking him
as soon as he tries his first tool could prevent a lot more knob jiggling
with the other tools -- one of which might have otherwise hit pay dirt.
