I think a good point was raised that people want to enjoy a museum, not feel like they're in a military compound. Also, using stronger securing mechanisms would likely result in the artwork being damaged. Given that the pieces are too notorious to sell on the market, and that the past has demonstrated the artwork will be returned after a ransom is demanded, the security level seems appropriate.
