In all honesty, no one brings locks or lockpicks to the meetings, at
least not in a very long time. You would all know this if you attended
one every now and then. Stuff you might find...new tech, some old tech, definitely some linux users, and maybe a talk or two. Hacking isn't all bad folks, open your minds a bit.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 9:06 PM, Will <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nyphbl8d@gmail.com">nyphbl8d@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I haven't checked the laws, but as far as I was aware, it was only an<br>
issue if you were charging for services without a license. I've been<br>
through the airport with my set in my pocket, and they asked what they<br>
were. I told them it was a lock pick set for personal use and I went<br>
on my way with the set in hand.<br>
