This guy makes it look pretty easy, and doesn't use advanced tools or anything, just a piece of metal bent to go around the obstacle like the key does (i.e. totally reasonable time and work): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS0FSzamUzc

Fascinating!

Of course if anyone did it, it would be huxley.

It feels like Bowley underestimated strong vibration attacks like that and didn't invest enough in spool/serrated pins.

I suspect this is correctable, but I wonder if it would work as well mounted in a sturdy door since the vibration is not directly connecting with the pins.
