Default Electrical Cylinder Switch screws?

Anyone know whats the size of the 2 screws that are used to attach the electrical switch to the ignition key cylinder?

Do you think it'd be more secure to use a more uncommon type of screws like allen screws? (Socket Head Cap screws)

Do you think its a bad idea? Wouldn't it take a potential thief a longer time to remove the 2 screws to access the electrical starter if it wasn't held on by 2 philips screws?

It might slow them down. but you can hammer a flat bladed screwdriver into the ignition switch and just turn it to start the car, steering culumn will be unlocked that way too, the thief will need to get a new ignition switch, but its really not that hard to get a complete lock set from a junkyard.
