Decided to help him build a lock pick set tonight... So I sent him this
link that I thought some of you might find interesting:

To give credit where it's due, that document is my alma mater's "MIT
Guide to Lockpicking".

When I was a student there in the 50s there wasn't a cylinder lock on
campus safe from us.

I remember showing off to a visiting friend staying at the Buckminster
Hotel in Boston* how to make a master key for the place by filling up
the cuts on a room key with one at a time with soft solder and then
filing that cut down until the key worked again. When done, you'd
"found" the master key.

Comments from the MIT Hacking community regarding current distribution
of "The Guide" and a bit about "Hacker Ethics" are at:

Thanks for the mammaries,
