- reflex768, on 11/20/2008, -1/+53Heh. First reaction is that's pretty cool technology. Second reaction is wondering if any of the hundreds of pictures I have floating around on the web have any keys in frame.
- WoundedCow, on 11/20/2008, -0/+46I drive a '94 Bravada with 243,000 miles on it and more rust and metal...I say let them steal it.
- weatherman5000, on 11/20/2008, -1/+42Wow. The news really wants us to live in constant fear.
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+41fourth reaction is i like turtles
- dullnation, on 11/20/2008, -0/+38Third reaction is, you need to know what door the key opens.
- WoundedCow, on 11/20/2008, -0/+27Haven't locked it in six years...don't even know if the locks work....key is in the ignition so I don't lose it....left it at Midway for 23 days with the key in the ignition and it was still there when I got back.
- mikemarino, on 11/20/2008, -0/+25False. Most crooks will break a window or kick in a door.
- jordantneff, on 11/20/2008, -0/+22If a criminal goes to the lengths of hiding in a bush to take far away pictures of my keys, using advanced algorithms to generate a replica of a car key all to steal my piece of ***** car, then they deserve to have it.
PS: It needs an engine checkup, tires need rotated, oil needs changed, the heating doesn't work, and the passenger window doesn't wind down. Enjoy. - Fabbyfubz, on 11/20/2008, -5/+25"I am the Gatekeeper, are you the keymaster?"
"No, but I've taken pictures of the keymaster HAHAHAHHAAAAAAA" - freezerburn666, on 11/20/2008, -2/+20that's why i always securely keep my keys in my ass.
- kuwan, on 11/20/2008, -2/+19I smell a MythBusters episode in the making.
- callmejordy265, on 11/20/2008, -0/+16sledge hammer > taking the time to photograph a key, import it into software and laser etch a new key.
- slapded, on 11/20/2008, -2/+16http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa270/2emo2care ...
- shakebabies, on 11/20/2008, -1/+15or you could just take a quick key bump
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1320lbs Sledgehammer: $35.96 + $16.46 shipping

- skabyss, on 11/20/2008, -1/+12Making/buying a bumb-key would be far easier than this.
- 3Den, on 11/20/2008, -1/+12I'm pretty sure a bump key beats your lock pick any day of the week...
- Hedragon, on 11/20/2008, -0/+11Just carry around 50 fake keys on your key ring and only 1 correct one and you should be in the safe zone.
- vpshockwave, on 11/20/2008, -1/+11....
HAHAHAHAHA.
.... - AboveandBeyond, on 11/20/2008, -0/+10do you have a picture of the keys?
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+11wait this is new? people have been photographing keys to copy for ages
- rald84, on 11/20/2008, -2/+11this is a scientifically peer reviewed paper. mythbusters is pretty fail
- billbugger, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8You just lost your car :-ED
- centran, on 11/20/2008, -1/+9bumpkeys are quicker but they aren't quiet... but why would anyone want to quietly open a lock?
- GeckoSlayer, on 11/20/2008, -1/+93Den, you're right, but does anyone care about the elegance of lockpicking these days?
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8keys are used on things other than cars.
- hello3u, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7Speaking from experience?
- oboshoe, on 11/20/2008, -1/+8Wonder how long the CIA has had their own version of this technology?
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7That's really cool. It's interested to think that there are 6 types of ridges on every key and you only need to decipher the algorithm.
- thomascj, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7amount of people who got that reference? looks like approximately 3.
- gbarger, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7There's a slight problem though. Most cars worth getting have a transponder in the key...the picture might be able to copy the key, but not the transponder...so, it's still useless for most cars now.
- suinmind, on 11/20/2008, -1/+7Hmm....
Even if a key can be copied from a picture, how do you know which door to open?
The chance of using the copied key to break in a house is not much higher than doing it with a key you found on the street. - woofers07, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6ahh key bumps, those were the days.
- davidg11, on 11/20/2008, -1/+7I love the James Bond type of digg submissions
- staticfire, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5i could use a quick key bump..
- hello3u, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5That will be pretty heavy... and bulky... and a chick repellent.
- soupnrc, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5This is the key to my house...

it's a special key, see if you can figure it out. - neutronphaser, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5Where is download link kthx?
- mk3k, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5Yup in all things crooks will take the easiest route. Usually break the window. Apartment, house, or car. In a car you break the window furthest from the drivers seat.
Kicking in a window with your heal is easy and doesn't hurt. Kinda scary when you realize how easy it is to do. - dullnation, on 11/20/2008, -0/+5You just blew my mind.
- tecratour, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4Imagine if Gone in 60 seconds pulled this outta nowhere. It would be one of those things people thought would be incredibly unlikely and probably take away from the movie, and then Bam, a decade later it shows up as real!
- yacks, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4@hello3u:
that's why you just slap on a bunch of Hello Kitty designed keys on your keychain.. ;) - theOster, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4dont get it and google was *not* my friend :(
- neutronphaser, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4Is it your gonads?
- davidg11, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4"the UCSD scientists won't use their talents or technology for ill-gotten gains. "
No. Of course not. They just simply thought of this out of the blue to HELP people.
Yes. I'll simply believe them because they tell me to do so. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4because if its been on slashdot than everyone at a totally different site has already seen it?
- davidg11, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4They'll never get me with this algorithm thingy. I'm too smart.
My keys are hidden in a special rock outside my door.
No one will suspect it because it looks like a rock!
If you don't believe me, take a look!
I live at 295 Sunset Dr., Seattle WA, 98120
And I'll be gone for the next 3 weeks, so maybe after then come over and see how much it looks like a rock? - ArmandoPenblade, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Nineteen, twenty if you count the one who goes home to use his laptop.
