Lock Bumping or Key Bumping

As if we don't have enough to worry about, with Identity Theft, on line fraud and terrorist running around, but now I see that our locks are not nearly as secure as we were led to believe.

The Bump Key will allow a person to get past most locks on our front doors and it only takes seconds to do so. This includes dead bolts.

Of course this was news about 18 months ago but the MSM just got around to mentioning it. Google has 1.05 million hits on the subject.

Two articles are a good background on the subject and what locks are vulnerable.
Article 1
Article 2
PDF on the subject, technical reading. All from Google.
