They are called tamper-proof bits, or something like that. Once you know the name, they aren't hard to find. Canadian Tire (big chain) sells them here, for example. A set of bits is a couple of dolla

those are "security" fasteners. You can get them from the cheap tool on-line places like Harbor Freight or drop by any decent electronics store (not "Circuit City" or other mass retailers) - they wil

these are 'tamper-resistant' fasteners, put there to keep you from getting into whatever's behind them. I had a guy tell me once (when I asked this very question) that if I didn't know how to get the

I found a nice driver kit at the local electronics shop that included 6 or so of the security bits. Also regular Torx, hex, square, flat, Phillips and nut driver bits, all for $25 or so. I'd want de
