@Kyng it does come up from time to time here, but it's definitely more a hobby to think of like solving puzzles or to practice so you can familiarize yourself with physical security similar to how hacking makes you more knowledgeable about cyber security.

Truth is, most locks can be picked, defeated by shims, magnets, or even a long hook reaching past it due to companies not putting a barrier there as a cost saving measure.

A lock only keeps honest people honest.

I want to expand on some of the crazier concepts in an extension to this post but yeah it's pretty crazy stuff.

Handcuffs for example can be shimmed open by nature of how they work and so if you know that and have an innocuous piece of thin scrap handy you don't need picks or keys to get out of em, just slide that metal along the little teeth and blamo, you're free.

Knowledge is power and with great power comes great responsibility.

The scary part is that the know how is out there in the open, and the barrier to entry is so low.

My set of picks cost me like $15 and they're cheap ones from China.
