On the declining art of safecracking. And, another example of cultural loss due to declines in people going into the trades.
Interesting read, but as I am able to start most cars with no or little damage, i will not pass that skill on to others, except fellow mechanics, who i know to be of good character. Some things shouldn't be on the net.
Why not?
I guess a lot of people have knowledge of many skills that could be used for "illegal" activities, but we choose not to. Not sharing the skills just means that they can be "lost" again. Many a civilisation has foundered by skills/knowledge not being shared.
Those of us who are male are equipped to be rapists. That we choose not be be and use the equipment in consensual uses shows that the equipment is not the problem, like information.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Im a Liberal, (not American definition), so why would I not quote Mills?
As to his lapse into an interest into socialism, senile dementia is such a terrible thing in the elderly.
