RE: 9404 Lost IPL Key

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I did change it with a paper clip, but that was for a vendor who had a
9404 in the locked position, and who couldn't use it in the middle of an
Expo.  As I told that vendor, what I was going to do was to take on some
business risk, and he bought into it.

I did not recommend this here because I was averse to the business risk.

I could have sworn Al Barsa said these things can be turned with a paper
clip.  Maybe it was Al, not sure... Anyone confirm?  They don't look like
the most secure locks in the world.

Locksmith is a pretty good idea too.
