Earlier quoted context omitted.
Better security is not letting them get the cash at all.
Cost of dealing with a dead teller is probably higher than the amount of cash that will satisfy most traditional robbers. If that robber-satisfying amount can be recovered with a certain degree of reliability, the security model is effective in deterring attacks, minimizing attack damage, and ensuring physical safety of team members.
PS: 100k in 20's is ~11 pounds. Some people might leave the bank with more than that, but not that much as most branches don't much have cash and simply simply moving it becomes difficult.
