Ultra-High Security Locks Used by White House Easily Opened by 12-Year Old Girl

As reported from DefCon and Threat Level blogs, the "ultra-high" security locks used by the White House can easily be picked.

Hackers have contacted the lockers manufacturers, and the manufacturers said they didn't believe it, even though the pickers sent them evidence. At DefCon they had a 12-year old girl pick the locks. Take a look at this article and included video, she does it in 30 seconds. Ah...manufacturer, can you hear them now?
