Tightening bar end screws?

This should be an easy one... I was wondering if any special attention should be taken to tightening the bar end screws? My wife installed a new bar end once and it fell off from the vibration of a long ride. The replacement started to do the same thing. She was told to use Lock Tight on the screw, but is that really necessary? I'm hoping my wife's problem was just an anomaly. Let me know what you think.

There's nothing wrong with using a drop of blue loctite; that's exactly what it's for.
Clean the bolt and use a small drop of blue; it can be broke-loose when needed.
