stuff snipped

I don't understand people that carry around a 5 pound key-mass with 35
keys on multiple rings, 12 shopper's club tags, a flashlight and a 5-
in-1 tool.

Hey! *Quit spying on me. *I carry all those keys because it's impossible to
lose them. *If they fall out of my pocket it sounds like the anchor of a
battleship slapping the hull.

I was considering a push button lock but the problem is they're pretty easy
to overcome by observation and inspection. *The frequently used keys show a
wear pattern and someone looking over your shoulder can easily see what code
you punched in.

I had my telephoto lens with me the other day when we were in line for the
drive up teller and it was a piece of cake to see what numbers people
punched into the drive up ATM window. *There was no shielding of any kind.

If I did go to an electronic front door lock, I'd select one that used a
special remote or electronic key. *It would be great if I could assign a
button on my car key fob to unlock the front door, but I haven't found
anything like that yet.
