I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

      I believe in some areas fire is a valid concern. But I also imagine if you do it right, it doesnt matter as much.

          No its just harder to get out in case of a fire. But thats just spitballing. I know that’s why you cant put bars on all windows or totally obstruct exits. Fire is much MUCH more likely to happen than a break and entering. At least where I am at. People need to get out in case of a fire. But im pretty sure there are still ways of protecting yourself instead of just bars.

        I think for firefighters you’d have to install some “fire key” system and they’ll ok it.

        LEO would be able to get the key themselves with a warrant though, but at that point they’re checking your cavities whether you want to or not.
