At Defcon this year an 11 year old girl managed to bump an "impregnable" lock from the top American manufacturer in under a minute.
Awesome!

That's basically the same technique used by automatic lockpickers, though this way is cheaper, doesn't require you obtain restricted products, and also works with drilled-key locks.

gbeer's, even. And, to add additional information, basically what happens is that you create a key where all of the points are drilled to their lowest settings, while leaving the humps between them. Push the key in until it's one before the last position. (You know how when you put a key in a lock, it has a few disinct places where it's wants to rest? The last one of those before it's fully inserted.) Then bump the key fully in while turning the key. It seems from some of the clips that you can bump it in the right direction so that the bump itself turns the key. What happens is that the humps between the key's positions push the pins up very quickly, and that causes the driver pins to fly up away from the key pins. This creates a large gap between them, which means that there is a significant period of time in which the cylinder can be turned. The diagrams on the Wikipedia entry for pin tumbler locks should help illustrate what I just said.

I'm trying to decide if the payoff was worth the uneasiness I felt watching the first four minutes.

I got to the 1:40 mark and gave up. It doesn't get good until 4 minutes have gone by??
Somebody needs to fire the screenwriter.

It would be easier to watch if they didn't disable the slider. That's one of the most annoying streaming video habits...

From the comments on digg, several people spotted Canadian street signs in the video.
Any true hick in the US would be driving an American truck, and the video had them in a Toyota truck. I was reminded of that fact when I moved to Texas.

Well, I can't say this is anything near a "Best" video, but I do have to say that I laughed until I cried. Worst. Cover. Evar.

Diet Coke + Mentos...ingested
I'm wondering if this guy is actually experiencing anything out of the ordinary, or if he's just acting for the camera (sorry, he seems the type).
Besides, if he had watched the Mythbusters, he would have learned that all he needed to do was swallow a couple of them whole, then drink the diet coke. I think chewing them would lessen the reaction.

On Mythbusters Jamie didn't swallow the Mentos, he just put them in his mouth. If the guy on YouTube swallowed some of the chewed Mentos and then managed to swallow some Coke then he might well have been suffering some discomfort.
He was probably just acting up though...

Naw, just get Medeco brand locks.
I just bought some "bump keys" on eBay and will see if they work. I'm going to use them to convince family to get some Medeco locks. It appears that Medeco locks aren't special at all - it's the keys that are. Only authorized dealers can order the blanks or copy them. I wonder how long before a knock-off blank appears?

They didn't work because of their waxy coating, by chewing them he would have broken up the coating.

It's pretty easy to get your hands on a Medeco key. You don't need a blank, just any key, including one of the dozens of duplicates most building managers have. You'd just have to drill down further.
That said, I believe that Medeco locks are different in that two mechanisms have to be unlocked at the same time, namely the key has to be fully inserted before the traditional locking mechanism will operate, which doesn't make it unable to be bumped, but does make it more difficult.
