In fact, I keep a set of picks and practice locks in my bag, so sometimes while waiting somewhere or over lunch I'll pull them out and practice a bit. It is actually somewhat calming if you're not getting all bent out of shape and frustrated and tensing up. I sometimes have them near my computer at home and if I'm stumped about something, instead of other toys or stress balls, I'll grab the picks and pick at sometime for a bit. I really suck at it, but I figure the more I just play with them now and then, the better I eventually will become about feeling out the # of cylinders, their tension, and type. If nothing else, the knowledge of locks is useful as part of our physical security interests! I totally agree, it’s quite fun!
