Tellng a couple of kids to disrupt the lock picking industry would probably end up with a situation less scam-like, but equally terrible.

At least it would be cheaper until the VC money ran out.

I was going to say uber locksmithing but the uber method for fee calculation would but their fees way higher. :-)

uber for locksmithing would basically be having people come over to your house who happened to have lockpicking kits handy.

And would have the associated effect of providing a very clear analogue for the protesting licensed taxi operators.

Actually an uber like surge pricing would be quite a good idea.
