Notebook Lock Picked with Toilet Paper Roll
Monday, 23 May 2005, 1419

Remember those expensive bicycle locks that could be easily picked by anyone with a ten-cent pen? This time the victim is notebook computer locks. The guy in the video below uses a piece of a toilet paper roll to easily and nonchalantly open the lock whilst sitting in the middle of a cafe.

    My Fortune 500 company issues those locks to everyone assigned a notebook, myself included. Great to see they are so easily defeated.
