By the way, a colleague and I once screened Dr. Strangelove for some students in a course we co-taught on USSR/Russia. Told them in advance that it was satire (duh!), but one of them still complained afterwards that it was the most unrealistic movie she'd ever seen. 'Course, nowadays, about the only part I find implausible is Slim Pickens actually riding the bomb...Oh, and that it would be dropped on our current president's favorite country.
I agree about the locks and appreciate the Dr. Strangelove lore. The lock in the video, though, is one that costs a list price of $75, is the subject of the very widely seen video I posted, and doesn't look formidable in the least. So if it's supposed to be discouraging, I think one could do a lot better for a lot cheaper (although I have noticed a huge price drop since these disastrous Lock Picking Lawyer videos).
