I have a couple of questions, maybe someone can answer.
First, do these techniques work on (modern) car doors? It'd be useful to be able to save the $30 fee if I lock my keys in the car..
Second, on Terminator II, Sarah Conner was able to unlock her straightjacket with a paperclip. I thought this was plausible enough, but I couldn't believe it would be possible to open her cell door since it appeared to be secured with a heavy bolt mechanism. Am I correct that this would be physically impossible to pick with a couple of paperclips?
I've picked my Honda door. It was trivial. By the looks of my Toyota key, it would be similarly easy. They have 2-sided teeth on the keys, but the lock is only pinned on one side.
I'm not familiar with prison locks at all, so I can't answer that.
However, the class I took taught us how to pick handcuffs with paperclips and that was trivial. BTW, the class was titled something like Urban Survival from OnPoint, run by a guy named Kelly. The class was briefly mentioned in Neil Strauss's book Emergency!.
