Sorry, I just don't get the lock picks....


Don't lose any sleep over it. grin

Looking at the rest of the items, you'll notice a trend -- signal mirror, whistle, signal panel, Glo-toob attached to a lanyard. All things to attract attention and be noticed, as you yourself mentioned. (Still need to add a little flagging/surveyor's tape, too.) As far as the FAK goes, it is carried in another pouch (modified AMK kit). Picture below...
