if we're talking about U.S. states, that is just not true. most states at least have to show that you intended to use them for commiting burglary.
here's a link to a page with details about laws regarding lockpicks all over the U.S., if anyone is curious.
You can even fly with them! I do a bit of locksport for fun and have gotten quite the side eye when picking open padlocks while waiting for a plane.
Has it gotten worse since the started anrmor and locking the cockpit doors?
I’m old enough that when I flew as an unaccompanied minor in the early 90s, I got to go up to the cockpit to talk to the co pilot. Got some plastic wings from northwest while I was in there too.
Not sure if it's gotten worse - I've only been picking locks since the beginning of the pandemic.
While true, that won't stop police from making your life hell for a few hours.
well yeah, can't expect cops to know the law, i mean lets be real.
