Physical locks are less hackable than digital locks, right? Maybe not: Boffins break in with a microphone

Re: Security Locks for the win

Probably due to the inductance caused by drawing the magnets (in the key and lock) over a metal surface (again, the key and lock). Using different metallic materials would reduce the "signal" I would imagine, but it's an interesting idea and I might just plug in my SDR and run a couple of experiments to check.
