My dad recently got his explosives use/manufacturing license from the ATF. With this he can blow stumps, buy and use professional fireworks, etc..... Just something that he got interested in. Anyway, the ATF has very specific requirements on the "magazine" (a secure storage chest for the explosives). He had to get five-pin tumbler locks with non-exposed latches so they can't be cut with bolt cutters. This made me laugh, I'm kinda an amateur lock picker and there is nothing easier in this world to pick than a padlock. Took me 3 - 5 seconds to pick the German made "pick resistant" locks. He was not happy.

Anyway it got me to wondering how many people rely on these stupid little things to protect real valuables? I understand that the visual deterant is important, but don't trust these stupid things. Get a combo lock.
