Totally hear you there. But that's the best part about 'breaking code'. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the code and everything to do with something adjacent. Here's twist. Sound waves are physical right? Lasers can sense vibration including on film through soundproof glass off the surface of a plant!. So we can literally take this technology and feasibly work it into a laser recoverable set. Coffee shop be damned.

I mean, why pick the lock if you can just burn the house down around the door?
