At HackCon* here in Norway one year, one of the attendees asked about these locks while at the 'locksmith village' in the common areas.
He was told by another guest that 'if you can't open it, it's probably glued shut!'
The sentiment was that they were all just too easy to open, even as a 'starter' lock for those learning to pick locks.
When I left the con that year, I popped by a post office to mail a small package full of 'interesting bits of metal' that I didn't feel like taking through check-in or security...
The handcuff key I got another year I just put in between all the coins in my wallet...
*consider HackCon like Defcon, except it's smaller, the press can't just waltz in, and Powerpoint is banned. Hacks must if at all possible be demonstrated.
The guy demonstrating the lack of security on cable networks remoted in to his home PC somewhere else in the world and did realtime scans and hacks.
The guy who demonstrated breaking a hotel system and getting free pay-per-viev and stuff, was allowed to run a video recording of it. It was recorded on the hotel he was staying on... (He was using an alias at the con.)
Swedish Military Intelligence showed up one year...
