It's kind of frightening to imagine what exploits these locks have are that are quieter and less detectible than sticking it with a paperclip.

It's also funny to imagine the company's security experts who just can't seem to reproduce the stick-it-with-a-paperclip trick outside of a laboratory environment. I'm surprised guys that sharp let the hammer trick slip through!

It does not have to be less detectable to be worse.

Imagine if there were a way to remotely disable all such locks in a building, keeping them locked, or to remotely make them burst into flames (or both).
