Showing Keys in Public - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Presented at HOPE X (2014), July 19, 2014, 8 p.m. (60 minutes)

If a reporter wants to get the point across that certain people shouldn't have access to a particular key, would it be wise for said reporter to then show that key to the world? Like the New York City subway key? The key to the subway? On the Internet?! This and other media fails will be shown. And maybe even one or two non-fail examples.... Several cases of key-copying-by-sight will be discussed with lots of pictures and videos. How this can happen will be explained, as well as what to do to prevent it.


Presenters:

  • Jos Weyers
    Jos Weyers decided to do some training after ending second in the ongoing toool.nl competition four times in a row. Four hundred key blanks later, he slashed the then world record time of four minutes and 23 seconds to impression an Abus C83 (he did it in 87 seconds). He's the Dutch champion (two times in a row), and German Meister (that's champion in German, also twice), and current world record holder in this particular lock opening technique. Jos is the vice president of toool.nl. Most people know him as the Dutch kilt guy.
