The screws used to secure the MAF sensor are "security torx" screws. They look like normal torx screws, except that they have a protruding center piece in the screw so that normal torx screwdrivers cannot remove them. This way, they are so-called "tamper proof". Picture of a security torx screw here:



In order to remove them, you have to buy a tamper proof or security torx bit set, which has a hole in the center of the torx bit to fit into the tamper proof screw:


You can usually find these for cheap at a local auto parts store. I got mine for like $8 bucks at a Pep Boys.
