  • I know, which is why it’s not going to be my primary lock.

    For someone to bypass my locks, instead of breaking a window, a bunch of things have to come about and they’re all “and” statements.

    First, I would have to forget to lock the door, I don’t typically forget, I just get anxiety about it and it can ruin a nice day. With the electric lock I would be content someone can’t just opportunisticly walk in.

    And someone would have to want to get in my house enough to put effort into it. They’re breaking a window at this point regardless of the locks. Or they’re testing a neighbour’s door, with only one lock.

    And they would have to identify that only the electric lock is active.

    And they would have to have the tools/skills to break an electric lock. Along with the skills/tools to break a traditional lock (if they’re both engaged)

    If any of those statements is false, I would be no worse off, or better off, with an electric lock. If they want in, they’re coming through a window.

    I did think about a Yale as an auxiliary lock, but I’ve run up against it’s advantages (read: locking myself out) more than once. Also, if they can bypass the main lock, they can bypass a Yale, I figure, as it’s a similar skillset.

    “All electronic locks can be hacked” is the same statement as “all tumbler locks can be picked”. I’m guessing you still use one though.




  • A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink

    “I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

    “Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

    The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. “Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America.”
