Default Idle adjustment screw coming out???

Was just curious. Have any of you guys had your idle adjustment screws coming out on their own. esp the single cams.
I had this wierd high pitched whistle start the other day, almost sounded like the alternator belt. But after closer inspection I noticed my idle adjustment screw was gone from the throttle body. Thankfully I had a spare throttle body with the screw still in it. I just put it in the original.
Do you guys know of a good way to keep it from happening again?

Make sure it was in all the way until it actually started to really slow down the idle, then open it up until needed.
