When our daughter was born, we didn't let her out of our sight until my wife left the hospital. Sure, they have these bracelets that prevent switching babies (which happened to my wife's grandmother in 1960ies Switzerland), but our worst nightmare was that someone simply took and walked out with her.
Our children each had multiple bracelets, and when one bracelet had to be moved, it was a process involving multiple individuals and had clearly been rehearsed. Each kiddo also had a "baby LoJack" that went off and locked down the entire place if they were moved past a certain line near all doors; we accidentally set it off once and the reaction was immediate.
Sometimes it felt like it was overdone, and sometimes it felt like the most important thing in the world.
