Back when I write that about security keys, I had assumed that each member
collective deserved a key, plus some extra for various active
Omni organizers. But by all means, the less keys the better.
Re: copying security keys vs regular keys, yes anything is possible but it
seems substantially harder than regular keys, so I respectfully disagree
with the assessment that there's no meaningful difference. There's a lot of
different kinds of high-security keys; are you sure that this
particular type is as easy to copy as you think..? In any event, imo the
fact is that average person will have a much harder time to get such a
key copied, and this is what we would to my mind trying to mitigate with a
better lock - the average person making copies etc
- not 100% unhackable security. Like a bike u-lock, no it won't stop
someone determined to bypass it's security, but it will deter that more
than say just a thin cable lock or not having one.. In my opinion, at least.
If we simply want to remove the keyed lock altogether, personally that's
fine with me. It does seem like the card system has been working well for
some time. If that happens, perhaps access to the card unit could be
audited again just to make sure it's as physically & digitally safe as
possible from being hacked (in the bad sort of way). Again just my 2c.
Best,
David
