ok, so maybe i'm naive or totally uninformed, but in all sincerity here goes:

why have a handcuff key in your survival bag?

are we escaping from law enforcement? bad guys? do bad guys carry handcuffs?

do we have the key secreted on us somewhere? where? if the key were to be found by law enforcement would that not raise suspicion as to our intent?

i'm really lost and confused on this one. i need help understanding the pros and cons. no pun intended.
