That wont ever happen, as long as you don't loose your rear wheels too!! Both the
wheels and drums are held on to the hub by the wheel bolts or nuts. The little
screws are probably only from the factory, before the wheels were mounted on the
production line, to keep the drums from falling off.

I understand your worries if the wheel was mounted to the drum only, and the drum
was only mounted to the hub, but it aint so, luckily.
