Will a security torx bit work for removing non-security torx screws?

I'm thinking about buying this iFixit kit, and I noticed there's no standard T15.

Yes, cause a security torx just has a pin in the center requiring the special bit when a regular torx doesn't:

should work fine.

 

Torx Security bits should basically just be torx bits with a hole in the middle.
