Things that happen at a lock-picking convention (2013)
Read Feynman's book "Surely your joking Dr. Feynman", he's got an entire chapter on safe cracking.Yep, I remember in high school, in fact it was in Pasadena not far from Cal Tech, I don't remember who, but somehow I learned from somebody how to open the high-school lockers by 'feel', in a fairly short-time I could open any locker quicker than my own knowing the combo.Locks are fairly amazing when you think about it the locksmiths and the criminals all know how to crack any lock, yet the people in the middle think they're secure.Years later as a landlord I got to know my locksmith fairly well, one day by offhand he told me that the master-key ( So I could have one key to rule them all ) I was using could open 1/2 the units in the city.
