There is a difference though between this lockpicking style and the one you describe. Instead of having to seek out lockpicking books and/or tutorials (actively pursuing something malignant), people who find out about the nefarious use of KeyMe probably already use it for their own keys, too.

I might be able to find out how to surpass most routers by Googling half an hour - that doesn't mean that I will do so. But if I figure out how to surpass my own router, I might be inclined to use this trick simply because I've done it before.

That, and it's a reminder of how perceived safety can be misleading.
