As some of you may have noticed there is some media attention in the
US about the Bump key technique. Aloa, the biggest locksmith
association in the world, tried to downplay the seriousness of the
threat. And some big companies like, for example, Mul-T-Lock also
address the issue. Maybe they did not read the Consumer reports test
2006 where, two out of three of their locks were opened. Even by layman.

Read their comforting words and feel safe and secure again:

Marc Tobias took the time to address these ‘nothing to worry folks’ messages.

Read his point of view in an open letter to Aloa and the lock industry.
I fully agree with him. The only thing that is missing is the word ‘AMEN’.
