Well I mean't that to be funny but maybe it wasn't :-[
Seriously though, I have conisdered security bars on my basement lab's window - mostly for the times we are out of town for several days. I live in a rural area but occasionally neighbors have had someone break into their place when they're away.
What are others doing for lab security? Alarms?

A 130 - 150 lb well trained Dovie or Rottie comes to mind when I hear the term Lab "security"

I've got a big dog and a 12 gauge so I'm not worried about a lab break in when we're around. It's when we're gone for 2 weeks during vacation that concerns me.

Not if they belong to the State President. They roost in his yard, and between there and District 9 there are a good few of them.

I use a NFC tag implanted in my hand.

Yes - I know someone could easily smash that glass window. I got it 'cos I like the convenience and geekiness of it rather than because it secure.
Muttley Snickers:
We have a pet Galah (parrot) on the back verandah in a large aviary overlooking our rear yard, the cars, the boat and the workshop. He will notify us and carry on like a two bob watch if there is any activity in the vicinity of our property except for accompanied visitors and guests. He has particular sounds for various intruders and we know straight away whether is a cat, a fox, a possum or the local magpie's turning up for a feed.
If the phone rings he mimics the sound and is a handy phone extension ringer, if visitors arrive he will notify us and then start a conversation with them, saving us the trouble, he can go through timber better than my chainsaw and strips up
cable like nothing you have ever seen, he will swear at people that don't scratch him on the head and tell them where to go, this is probably where I got it from as he is a bad influence, anyway if I was on the computer I would post some pictures of our top notch security management system but he's gone to bed right now.
