Anyone pick locks as a hobby or intellectual pursuit challenge or profession?

It's always one of those things that's interested me, I'm sure from watching so many cop/spy/etc... movies and shows over the years.

I've read on it and understand the process and details.

I just found this which seems like a good write up.

The MIT Guide to Lock Picking (pdf)

Amazon has a ton of pick kits, but they all look like they are cheap Chinese stuff and therefore many/most/possibly all are junk.
