Protect yourself From Bump Key Attack
A very long time ago it was discovered that pin tumbler locks -- the kind you have on the exterior doors of your home -- can be defeated using a technique called "bumping." This is in reality a form of lock picking, but not one practiced by professionals as there are other picking procedures that are more reliable, though they require skill to use.
Now that the Internet makes it so easy to share information, this technique has found new popularity. Amateur videos are springing up all over the Web in which hobbyists and would-be locksmiths demonstrate how this is done. Since the practice requires little skill and no specialized tools, it is fairly quick to master to one degree or another. Unfortunately there are those who make use of this kind of information in uncivil ways.
Locksmiths, as mentioned, rarely use this technique but this was not always the case. Before the advent of commercially available lock picking tools (available, that is, to professional Locksmiths), bumping was one of the common ways to open residential locks when keys were lost or damaged. In those days Locksmiths carried around special mallets called "bump hammers", and these are now showing up in non-professional catalogs and supply sites thanks to the online videos to which I made reference.
So how can you protect yourself from "bump attack", which is my term for burglary performed through the use of bump keys? Here are a few simple and inexpensive steps that will make it much harder for a burglar with bump keys:
1- Make sure each of your exterior doors are protected with two keyed locks, one being a deadbolt lock. Bumping open one lock can take quite a while, so it makes sense that if you have two on your door a burglar hoping to use this technique will pass you up for a house with fewer locks to bump open.
2- It is well worth the money to replace your older deadbolts, which are almost certainly 5-pinned locks, with newer 6-pinned locks such as those offered by Kwikset under the Titan brand. Six pinned locks are much more difficult to bump open than are five pinned locks.
3- It's always a good idea to use exterior lighting with motion sensors, especially at entrances that have no other nighttime lighting. This step will protect you from much more than just bump attack!
4- Useyour deadbolts! It always amazes me how many times I see unused deadbolts on homes and businesses. It takes something like .5 seconds to turn the thumb piece or use the key to lock a deadbolt, and that's time that might well save you from a world of hurt someday.
Hopefully these few simple ideas will prevent at least one "bump attack", which are indeed on the rise nationwide, from occurring. Maybe that someone will be "you."

i drink occationally but when i have 2-3 drinks in me i started to get red and like rashes or bumps all over?
i dont know why im like this everytime i drink i cant lie if i've been drinking lol..and when alcohol is out of my system or kinda like sober already it will just go away.Take note i just drink occationally and not get hammered.
thanks guys for the response..i usually drinks bloody mary,smarties,jager blaster,sangria and wine coolers..ohh sometimes tequila shots,
You might have a genetic thing, which is more common in asians (I believe 50% of asians have this, from what I read).
Basically, you have two enzymes in your liver/stomach to break down and metabolyze alcohol.
The first turns alcohol into acetalehyde, which is MORE toxic than alcohol. Having too much of this does cause you to become red.
The next enzyme turns acetalehyde into acetic acid, which is what vinegar basically is.
The mutation gives people alot of the 1st enzyme and not so much of the 2nd. So, you drink alcohol and can turn it into acetalehyde quicker than most people. But you remove the acetalehyde slower than most people. The result is you have a prolonged period of exposure to acetalehyde and in much higher quantity than most. This causes redness in the face.
If you happen to be asian, this is almost certainly what is going on. I would reccomend not getting hammered if you have this, as the acetalehyde will build up and make you quite sick. Also, when you do drink, only drink something which is tasty and drink it slowly. This should delay the amount of time it takes to convert the alcohol to acetalehyde.
