    Go ask a locksmith what kind of smart lock he has on his own house. After he’s done laughing at you he’ll explain why they’re a stupid idea.

      I’ve watched the Lock Picking Lawyer for years and he picks every lock sent his way. Obviously you add an additional vector of attack with smart locks, but also you unlock things. Like for example, for disabled people or people that otherwise require care and assistance.

        Obviously there are use cases where the tradeoff makes sense, but you wouldn’t suggest everyone uses a wheelchair all the time either.

      Why would they bother with this? Its much faster and more fun to ruin your door frame with a ram.
