LockPicking

Interesing. Will you be bringing this stuff to the con? I would like to see the more universal key, and if my key's notch is too long, I can dremel it down.

I'll be carrying the key with me, but I do not think I will be bringing a box of cuffs along with me. I usually only bring stuff that I am willing to lose, and I don't want to lose my nice collection of cuffs. :) I do not recall the brand names or model numbers of the cuffs that comes with a longer notch, or support longer notches, and which support the shorter only... or else I would post it here.

One thing also is that some keys ( I think the cheaper models) have a smaller guage hole in the cylinder of the key and this also does not allow the key to set around the male part of the lock, or that sometimes the hole is not deep enough to allow the male part of the lock to set correctly, and thus not allowing the key to turn... just a few observations made... The better keys are made from a long cylinder and have a short notch so they may accommodate all standard locks. A key with a short notch, big and long hole allows you to enter the lock and if the notch is too short you can move the key in and out until you find what you are looking for so that you may turn the key. :)

Short Notch, Big Hole, Long Hole :)

Careful now, feddies are loose at the con, speak freely, act carefully. :) Try not to get into too much trouble. Anyhow there will be plenty of people to chat with that range from all ages

Thanks for the tips, I'm not a stupid kid, I just play one on T.V.
Interesting that the feddies actually do show up, god theres so much more productive things they could be doing... besides busting the average blue haired 16 year old, text file reader.

LOL, in one of my electronic reports that is required to measure our improvement over time I created a new field and depicted in increase an lockpicking skills. I have a few locks sitting on my desks that I fiddle with when I have to get the gears up a notch.

Most of the feds there are cool, there to learn not bust people.

Of course, this assumes you follow the first rule of life: Thou shalt not be stupid.

To my knowledge, cash amounts mentioned in that thread were costs of getting to and from the con. I'll be surprised if I have $20 on me around vegas, and wouldn't suggest carrying cash around to anyone else attending (especially you flightling)
