The Lock Is Mighter Than The Pen

Well, I should have figured this, but apparently my ignorance on the matter was corrected. Kryptonite Bike Locks are apparently totally safe now and have been since 2005 or so, per Karen from Kryptonite:

Tom, this is Karen from Kryptonite. I am happy to say that the pen is no longer mightier than the lock! The tubular style cylinder that was vulnerable to this sort of violation was eliminated from all Kryptonite locks in 2005. The new cylinder is a completely safe from pen attacks. (Shameless plug - check them out on our website....www.kryptonitelock.com) Sounds like the book is an interesting read, by the way!

Thanks for the information and the comment! I should have probably figured that Kryptonite had figured out a way around this already. Technology that enabled people to break in with a pen probably also enabled Kryptonite to come up with a fix quickly.

Technology. Isn't it wonderful?

P.S. Would have posted this update sooner, but only just noticed the comment now. My bad.
