Yeshai M. Kutoff was house-proud, having bought a home in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, for his family of five. And as an Orthodox Jew, he bought push-button locks for the doors \u00e2\u20ac\u201d an accommodation for the Sabbath, when many of the devout do not carry keys.<\/p>\n
Yeshai M. Kutoff had push-button locks installed at his home in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. When a neighbor told him that the locks he had bought could be opened by a powerful magnet costing about $30, Mr. Kutoff was perturbed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It does bother me that other people could easily figure it out,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said. Mr. Kutoff did not buy a magnet to see for himself. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t interest me to know how to break into my own lock,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said.<\/p>\n
If this were a problem with security software instead of errant bits of steel, a company could send out a patch. If this was someplace other than the United States in the 21st century, Mr. Kutoff might have called a locksmith. But because it is the United States in the 21st century, lawyers are involved.<\/p>\n
