I'd say it might refer to requiring an Apple certification - the reason Apple uses Torx screws in the first place is to try and stop people like you and I from opening them up. ;)
Either way....requiring certification to buy an overpriced screwdriver does nothing but make them look ridiculous.
I'm thinking that since it's a tamper-resistant tool, they may want some kind of certification of lawful usage (i.e., being a repairman as opposed to being a burgler. It's probably a legal liability thing.
I bought a 120 piece tool kit from tigerdirect.com and it has a large selection of tamper resistant bits with it. Plus, it also cost $20 less then that screwdriver does.
