It's not actually the multitool itself defeating the lock, but it is instrumental!

I knew there was a reason I locked my Laptop in my desk draw, rather than dicked around with ridiculous little cable things...

What multi is that?  I don't recognize the scissors to be Leatherman..maybe a knockoff?

Interesting vid BTW..where there is a will there's a way.

I saw a kid do that years ago, might've been when they first came out. Never trusted those things since then.....  and if they don't defeat the lock they'll just smash the sh*t outta your laptop to get their frustrations out.  :o >:(

...would a hefty pair of snips be able to cut through the cord?  Seems like a faster/easier way to bypass the "lock".

It looks like a SwissTool to me.

There's another video of a kid cutting a lock with a set of snips, but if you've ever tried cutting steel cable you know how tough it can be.
