only if you do high security stuff.

I do stuff that has to be inspected by DEA, when I do I either use uncoded
wire or use different combinations of colors for each device/switch and run
24 hr tamper loops through all contacts (i have special contacts made with 4
conductors two for the switch, two for a tamper loop).
