Now THAT's funny! It only reinforces the old saying: "Locks only keep the honest folks out."

I'm a locksmith and yes locks do only keep the honest people out but as with most ways of getting past locks in my mind they take to long. If I were breaking into a place I would break a window, get in, and get out. I'm sure the government locations with these locks also have other forms of security. Like the big guys with guns.

"Big guys with guns" aren't necessarily guarding the entrances and cabinets these supposed lock protect. Furthermore, they probably won't know if a person is authorized access.
