"Lockpick."

There, I said it. Does that make your skin crawl? It should.

Because technically, it’s wrong. But so is "lock pick."

If you know why this is like nails on a chalkboard, you’re my kind of person. Let’s argue in the comments. 👇 #LockSport #Locksmith

TOOOL Rules of Locksport:

1. Never pick a lock you don't own.

2. Never pick a lock you rely on (if it breaks, you're locked out!).

Ethics are the foundation of our community. 🔒✨

🔑Heading out for holiday travel? ✈️
A reminder: TSA-approved luggage locks all share a small set of master keys, and those keys were leaked and easily duplicated from photos. That means many “locked” bags aren’t as secure as travelers expect.

A simple padlock tells a big story. On Dec 7, 1941, this rotary padlock secured US mail aboard the USS Oglala at Pearl Harbor. Decades later, it was recovered & now lives in the Smithsonian. postalmuseum.si.edu/object/npm_1...
