british bike locks always work. theres a bit of play in them so you can jiggle the key to free off a sticking lock so its a good choice. ive seen a few American locks that are finely machined and look great and very secure,but possibly would not open instantly in an emergency if they got so much as a fly stuck inside them

I have also seen a lot of US locks that you could park an SUV in... In fact picks sold for European locks are known as "slimline" to distinguish them from their chunkier American versions.
Note that the "article" is some 5 yrs old and is typically based on scant knowledge of procedures; it focuses on one small tooth in the overall cog of events. It is completely misleading and does not reflect the true sequence of events, or security procedures, that needed to take place before a weapon was finally (if ever) placed in the armed state. It makes no mention of the additional weapon design/safety features that would need to be activated to achieve detonation. When I first became aware of this article, I emailed my comments to the BBC and received the usual response - nothing. Sadly, it is just sensationalist journalism based on ignorance.

Not ranting, really!
" it is just sensationalist journalism based on ignorance."
It's a good point 'superplum', if the key was hidden in a sock, hidden in a cupboard, with loads of other keys in socks, at the bottom of a pool of piranha fish, then I'd say that's pretty safe.

Careful, you might be in breach of the OSA in giving such secret information!

Not the same but good 19th Century story of the superiority of British safes over American ones.
