Just saw this article on Wired.com about lockpicker Marc Tobias. Pretty fascinating read. Looks like this guy can literally pick any lock. A good reminder that if someone else wants your stuff, the best you can hope for is to slow them down. Reminds me of that saying, "you don't have to outrun a bear, just run faster than the other guy."

As it turned out, only Tobias and Bluzmanis showed up. They had a cheap rolling suitcase bungied with a small vise, a tackle box full of picks and tryout keys, and everything to lose.

One by one, brand-new Medeco locks were unsealed. And, as the camera rolled, one by one these locks were picked open. None of the Medeco3 locks lasted the minimum 10 to 15 minutes necessary to qualify for the "high security" rating. One was cracked in just seven seconds. By Roberson's standards, Tobias and Bluzmanis had done the impossible.
