So it seems those fancy padlocks are easier to bypass than i even imagined.

I'm surprised those videos haven't been published here yet.

Yeah saw this.  Sounds like a great thing to bring to the children's lockpicking village at Defcon next year.  You do you do have to watch the whole video to learn that a gopro adhesive mount is a good tool to unscrew simple unsecured threaded covers.

Probably important to note that the back being unscrewed appears to be a QA issue, not a design issue. None of the ones we have open like that.
