Subject: RE: [IP] Key Bumping

Folks, I just found out about the "bumpkey" from
http://www.toool.nl/bumpkey-alert.wmv.  Don't download that on a slow
connection, but if you watch it you'll get a real feeling of insecurity
about expecting locks to protect your house.  Apparently (see, for
example, http://www.toool.nl/index-eng.php), "bumping" is real and as
soon as the idea spreads, houses may as well not have mechanical locks
on them.  :(

FYI.

Love,

Dad/Eric

Think the locks on your doors are safe and secure?  Think again.
