Introduction to Lockpicking

SESSION FORMAT: This session will continue throughout the day on one or more tables upstairs with the slide presentation running continuously. This is the format they use at other conferences and it is sometimes called a "Lockpicking Village." It works well because picking locks takes time.

Remember those movie scences where a spy-like character pulls out a "bobbie pin" or a paperclip and proceeds to pick a lock? Is that really possible? Probably not. But, maybe :-)

If you're interested in what it takes to really pick a lock, especially if you'd like to try it yourself, please consider attending this session!

We'll have a selection of tools and locks available so you can learn how locks work and what's needed to pick them. Better yet, we'll have several local "lockpickers" availale to help you get a "feel" for lockpicking (pun intended!).

Locks and Picks: If you have locks and/or picks - even if you don't intend to participate in this session - please consider bringing them ... we'd like everyone who wants to try lockpicking to have a chance and the more locks, and picks, the better. 

Assistance Appreciated: If you're an experienced lockpicker yourself, please join us! This will be a hands-on session and we'd appreciate your help introducing this fascinating topic to those who are interested.
