Default Bump Keying.. no, not key bumps.

Apparently 90% of all mechanical key locks are useless because they can be unlocked with out damage within seconds.

there are kits you can buy for like $100 that will pick a lock from any car manufactuerer. Not to mention there is a book specifically called "the Secrets of Lock Picking"

That definitely is a worry.

It'd happen a week after you buy a brand new Plasma or LCD TV too!

Z, this doesnt cost more than a key and some grinding work. It also doesnt take any skill at all..
