Because security bit sets are really hard to find too. It really turns into a sort of game of cat and mouse on this sort of thing. Simply locking them in a cabinets or putting them in a locked container that's bolted to the table is probably the better way to go if you're worried about them walking off.
The screwdriver in the picture does not follow the standard, it's special
If you want a large selection of bits, you need to go with with the standard. The current standard is 1/4 inch hex
Here are some examples

I use this one at work and it's got a great selection, the case sucks though - if you accidentally open it upside once you'll never do it wrong again!

They're called spanner bits. I have a kit (amazon link) which has the bits you need in the upper left side of the bottom clamshell.
I have this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/100-piece-security-bit-set-91310.html
Amazon has it too: http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-100-Piece-Security-Bits-Storage/dp/B000O5XDOG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1312915054&sr=8-5
Yeah, looks like tri wing. You need a security bit set, or you can probably buy just that bit online, but you'd have to get the size right. Sets are cheap, here is one on Amazon with tri wing bits.

You can get a set to get them open on Amazon. I recommend this set. I keep it with me in my backpack, and it's come in...handy.
Look for a security screwdriver set, similar to this one.
Adding to this, here is a $12 bit set that has the bit you will need. In my opinion it is smarter to just but the right bit rather than go through the hassle of drilling it out

you know, they have these on machine control cabinets in factories. when we need to get in (and don't have our security bit set) we just take a flathead screwdriver and wedge it in. that pin in the middle breaks right off. then a normal allen, hex, or torx wrench works. most of the time factory maintenance has already done this to all their cabinets...
i GUESS if you bought better quality screws it might bend instead of break, but i've never seen it fail.
I got this one.

If you need the bits too I picked up this set.

Buy these cheap junk bits and keep them around. Covers most of the random security bits you'll find. They are junk, but as often as you'll use them it's not worth paying for more.

Here is the set I have. Not sure how they last cause I haven't used them all too much but it's cheap so I'm sure it's worth it for light usage
You wanna get this

That will do nearly everything, also get a bit extender if you need them a bit longer.
*edit, just noticed the bottom post had a similar set.
I have this bit set you can do almost anything with it

um, yes?
someone posted earlier today about a new subaru with a chip-key getting boosted - that takes a lot of planning and skill, so it's not unreasonable to assume that a theft ring in search of a specific plate is going to have the equipment necessary to accomplish their goal.
sorry to break up your mediocre brag-fest about how awesome it is that you have tamper-resistant screwheads on your license plate though - i didn't realize it was important to your self-image.
edit: $11.95 for those wondering at home
