I say they should change all the locks monthly. Wouldn't that make sense.

Thats not very practical, it would cost an enormous amount of money and confuse a hell of a lot of people.

Unbelievably careless if true....

Why not use palmprints or electronic locks with swipe cards if its important. If its "just keys" then I wonder if its not such important areas, maybe the janitors broom closet is unlocked

Yeah, this was on ABC news this evening. So this story is getting some good mainstream press.

ahh, why dont they have finger/eye renta scans with normale keys

no lock nomatter how it works is un crackable...

all they could do is change the locks, but very carless with such dangeruse matreal.....

i dont think its pertinant to put this under 'terrorism' this isnt linked to any terrorist groups.
