Our home has several exterior passage doors, and a discussion on
the combo screws reminded me to post a little thing I did to gain
security when out of town.

On all the inswing doors, I installed eyebolts into the studs on
either side. *They were painted to help blend into the drywall
color and also most were behind drapes anyway. *I then bought some
fairly decent chain and reusable links, cutting the chains to span
the gap between the eyebolts. *In several cases, where a drape or
toolbox hid one of the eyebolts, I just left the one link and
chain connected to the eyebolt, but where exposed, the chains were
removed and stored. *Then, when leaving for an extended period of
time, I simply clip the other end of the chain to the eyebolt,
spanning the door with the chain. *Someone can still kick in the
door, but swinging it open will be presented with the chain
blocking the door.

Luxury cars now offer a great seating option for politicians.
These seats blow heated air onto their backside in the winter and
cooled air in the summer. *If sold to voters, though, the car
seats
are modified to just blow smoke up the voter's rump year-round

This security bar is much more secure and much easier to install:
