They are sold for car repossession and locksmiths, see for example: http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-SJG-10.html Yeah, for only $24.95 you can get a set that'll open many cars! Legality of such locksmith tools of course varies by jurisdiction, many of which require licensing to buy them, but in the Internet Age, that doesn't look like much of an obstacle. -David Mercer Tucson, AZ On 1/4/06, David Farber <dave () farber net> wrote:

For one thing, it's not a new attack; it's beenknown for >50 years. It also explains in more detail how to do it, whyit works, and notes that there are some lock designs that are immune. --Steven M.
