I didn't know it was a locksmithing term, that's actually interesting and I'll have to Google a bit. It also puts the comment into context; but I was probably not the only one to miss the whooshing sound.

No worries -- there are times I feel I reside under a flight path so I'm sorry I sent a jet your way. Regarding the saying, I've probably heard it more often in the locksport community, actually. That's probably what I meant to say instead of locksmithing.

I just started watching videos on opening locks, and I instantly caught the reference. It really reinforces the old hacker mentality, I think, where you're doing kiiiinda in the grey area, but just because it's interesting. Whitehat-ish, I guess.
