Or they'll show a fast shot of him sticking some -arcane "detective lockpick tools" into the lock and suddenly the door -opens... Indeed, often they show an actual lockpick inserted into the keyway and the door magically opens. Of course that's not how lockpicks work. -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... The movie "Thief" (starring James Caan) drew quite an outcry from the safe & vault profession, because its portrayal of drilling and burning bars wasn't far enough removed from reality. This topic doesn't belong in the PC newsgroups, so I've directed followups to misc.security.
