Did I test the ignition switch correctly?
Finally got the security bypassed for now, its just a resistor bypass atm. Anyway the security light is now behaving.
To test if I'm getting power to the starter from the ignition switch, I unbolted the small wire on the starter and attached a length of wire that i could run up into the driver's seat where i have my multimeter.

Inside I stuck the ground probe into the metal on the high beam switch where a wire appears to ground on the steering column. The positive probe is attached to the wire. I got them both in the same pic.

The results were that it reads millivolts erratically jumping from almost 0 to almost 180 with the car turned on or off. Maybe this is normal?
I guess the important part is what happens while cranking, or trying to engage the starter. In that case there seemed to be no effect. It just keeps jumping around in mv.
Did I test it wrong? If not, what could be the problem?
