Watch as Barry Wels and Paul Crouwel show off a shiny Russian embassy lock. These are very, very hard to come by, as they are only used in Russian embassies. I’m sure someone in the GRU/KGB/internal security department will be asking a lot of questions when they find out about this!
Also, if you are still using a Kensington lock to protect your laptop from anything other than snatch-and-run, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6560787668346205814 shows that you shouldn’t be. After watching this, you will realise one of the truths about security, that if you use a combination lock it can be broken after at most x amount of time, but at least x can be roughly guessed at. A key lock is either almost un-openable, or, with the right knowledge, it is very quickly opened (even if, in the extreme, that knowledge is the shape of the key!)
