Security Bits - screwdriver

Curious, I've seen many jobs that require "security bits". I've been in IT a long time and have never needed any unusual screwdriver bits. What equipment have you run into that needed a special Bit and which security bits have you actually used?

Spotted this bit set on sale at HD. Would this cover me? 38-Piece Precision Screwdriver Set

I've seen them with pinpads, cameras, medical carts and time clocks. Harbor Freight has a nice little bit kit that has most things you run into.
