Has anyone ever noticed for instance though, when the "Detective" on TV opens a door by picking the lock, he usually blocks what he's doing with his hands or body..? Or they'll show a fast shot of him sticking some arcane "detective lockpick tools" into the lock and suddenly the door opens... They're showing THAT it can be done.. NOT *how* it can be done.. If a movie or TV show started showing detailed instructions on how to pick locks, I think you'd hear quite a reaction, freedom of speech nonwithstanding... BobR
