A trade publication called The National Locksmith ran monthly guest editorials in which prominent members of that profession were invited to denounce me. My favorite quote, from a locksmith named Billy Edwards, who had written a book on master keying, and who took my paper rather personally.

...It [Blaze’s master keying paper] shouldnt have been
published, because the only people it will educate are the
dishonest who will use it to compromise security.
Locksmiths dont have to be surreptitious ...
... No, we can t call him a moron because he is obviously
intelligent, after all he did grasp the concepts of master
keying. We can however, see that he is an inexperienced
amateur when it comes to physical security. In his
computerized world it is a simple thing to fix a security
problem, you just load new software...
