Right, because once having heard about it, people aren’t going to rush onto the internet to figure out how to make their own bump key.
For the news crew, this was pretty much a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation for reporting this.
Yes, they needed to say something and no they didn’t show how to make a bump key, but they made a whole new crowd of people – good and bad – aware of bump keys.
It’s definitely a smart little trick. I wonder how long criminals have been using this technique to get into houses with little fuss.
