Putting sensor's on window screens

[Aaron Rosenbaum]

In a new house I'm building, I've got a number of casement style
windows in kids bedrooms. I want to alarm the screens to that if a
screen get's popped out we know right away. The windows open wide,
have fairly low thresholds and it's a long way to the ground.....

I'm thinking this is independent from the alarm itself (I've got 65
magnetic sensors all home run to the basement waiting for me to select
a panel.....)

I've got a home automation system that could provide an alert through
the whole house audio system if need be.

Any ideas?

Alarm screens maybe??
Just a thought.

Replacing all the screens seems to expensive - and overkill for my
purpose. I just want a tamper alert on the screen frame itself. If
it was conductive, life would be easy, but they are aluminum.

Any other ideas on how to secure casement windows that are partially
open?
