The folks at Lockpicking 101 were kind enough to let me sneak in a quick interview today.

I've run into so many camera-freaked and fed-shy folks at DefCon, I was shocked that they not only granted me a podcast worthy interview, but helped me pick my first deadbolt. Very cool.

Read on to hear more about lock pickers, lock smiths, the trend of security-through-obscurity policy in the physical security industry, and a quick howto by yours-truly on picking a deadbolt!

I spent the day hanging out with Justin Foell, Vince Veneziani and Phillip Torrone yesterday.

Something strange happened, though. Somehow all of our conversations seemed to relate to a common theme: the rail.

Listen in as Phil reflects on the importance of the rail, Justin describes his own first-hand encounter, and Vince demonstrates that sometimes it's best to just take a few steps back from the edge and respect the rail from a modest distance.

I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning at 7:00AM, headed for DefCon 13!
