(Anyone wanting to get into these locks could pick them in 30 seconds. Locks are for keeping honest people out, not for defending against terrorists. Terrorists with 767s don't need keys to anything. Occupy Wall Street protesters that want to shut down a bank's elevator system will still have to get past security to get to the elevator control panel.)
