Default Open Kensington laptop lock with toilet paper roll, tape, and pen

In this video a guy demonstrates just how easy it is to open a Kensington laptop lock using a roll of toilet paper, tape, and a pen.

this reminds me of when people were picking those $100 kryptonite U security locks with a ballpoint pen.

And when you think of it, a 99 cent piece object, just defeated a $100 piece of technology and whatever it was guarding, and most people who have those kryptonite locks have expensive bikes too!

He'd just use his own eyelash and with a certain macgyver only method of blinking the lock would open.
