Easy open U-Locks

This is a public service announcement

I've been reading a thread over at BikeForums.net about how easy it is to open up those U shaped bike locks (specifically Kryptonite brand) with a cheap Bic pen. If you go and try to read the forums keep in mind that it may be really slow as there are lots and lots of people trying to read them right now. There are even a few videos posted showing how easy it can be.

I haven't caught up to what's being said today (I'm about a third through all of the posts) but lots of the people are thinking about going to chains and keyed Masterlocks. Just thought that my bike riding and locking friends could use a heads up.
