[free-sklyarov] Is it illegal to create or possess locksmith tools?

[mickey]

It is, of course, not illegal to own or sell a "prybar":

Try these links to search results:

Lots of places sell prybars:

Locksmith tools are readily available without much public outcry:

And for those wanting to replicate keys:

When I have had key's copied, there were no questions asked. Why? Because
possesion of a key means that I am "authorized."
