Think again.
As this article explains, a old technique for opening almost any pin tumbler lock has recently been rediscovered and greatly improved — to the point where just about anybody can open just about any keyed lock quite easily. As noted security expert Marc Weber Tobias reports:
I interviewed and videotaped the eleven year old girl at the lock picking village at DEFCON who demonstrated how she could quickly open a popular cylinder. She had no prior experience with locks and did not understand the underlying theory.
Nice.
I read the article — it really does look like a trivially easy way to open keyed locks…
