While this came to me in an email, the video URL appears to display some merit to the claim. I am not supporting this assertion, however I think it is worthy of review and investigation for those of us using these bike locks on our very valuable bikes.
Quote from email:
Many Kryptonite locks (including all ev2000's) and possibly some other brands can easily be opened with the barrel of a bic pen. So far I've opened 8 different locks of varying age and model this way. First time takes a while, but now I'm down to about 30 seconds per lock. Some folks on the net can do it in 12 ( see: thirdrate.com/.../krypto.mov )
Again I am not confirming its accuracy, but I promise you I am testing my bike locks when I get home.
There some more information on this blog: http://thirdrate.com/index.php

i saw this in an article in the New York Daily News this past week, can't remember the exact date, but it was very interesting to read.
