Anyone else interested in physical security, lock or lockpicking?
I watched this talk on DEF CON about how a 3 year old shot himself, because his father was a police officer and the government gave him a shitty safe. Turns out the safe opens once you "bump" it, which is exactly what the kid did and got access to his gun. Highly recommend everyone watch it:

So then I started reading chapter 13 of Security Engineering Ross Anderson, and he talks about how locks keep being defeated over and over again:

>>9784 Yeah, he's pretty good. BosnianBill too. There is a community called TOOOL in case someone is interested (kinda like EFF/FSF but for lockpicking):

>>9785 Did they force their leader (& basically mascot) to resign because of some words in an email like the FSF, and are they a total corporate front like the EFF?
>>9772 The vast majority of locks merely keep honest people honest. Nobody living in a normal house or apartment and with a normal car can keep even a moderately determined thief from wrecking their shit. It's social norms and the law that keep people from thieving constantly. I keep a 12 ga. pump shotgun full of buckshot handy for people who don't respect social norms.
I bought a basic lockpicking set, and and my kids and I have been working on learning to pick locks. It's a fun hobby. Maybe useful in a SHTF situation or if I get locked out of my house or shed.

I agree. But lock security is important for facilities, such as banks, power grid, water treatment buildings, hydroelectrics, nuclear power plants, etc.
Or in the case I've mentioned on OP, like keeping shotguns safe from kids, or keeping something of high value in a safe.
Also, the idea of this thread was to focus not only on locks, but any kind of physical protection. So we could also discuss and share tips about rugged laptop cases, survaillance cameras, alarms and so on.

Came across also these "Bowley" locks and found it pretty interesting:

Forever Lock V2 seems neat too:
