   You can already have more secure windows. A sound sensor to detect the   
   sound of the glass being broken has been around for many years. A newer   
   option is for the glass in the windows to have millions of "invisible"   
   micro fibres connected to an alarm system - when the glass breaks and   
   the fibres are broken, the alarm goes off. The same can be done with   
   lasers through the glass (from edge to egde).
