I certainly agree with your comment, since it reflects my experience in a lot of cases. But

  "We take security seriously"
Why would such a statement legally cover your ass? From a legal perspective it sounds as dubious as warnings on a Truck "Stay back 10 metres. Truck is not responsible for damage"

I can't disagree. However, it doesn't deter businesses from using it as it demonstrates intent to maintain certain security posture, regardless of how ill-conceived that posture might be. That said, the statement is touchy feely, and will more than likely not hold true in the court of law when pressure tested.
