The Doctor: The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried.

Voice from outside: This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and what I have for you today is a Type 40 TARDIS....

@DotMaetrix The crossover we all deserve
@DotMaetrix I can't find an IMDB entry for the Lockpicking Lawyer. This seems so unfair.
@LockEx @DotMaetrix He’s on youtube. Thought he’d run out of locks to pick by now but nah https://youtube.com/@lockpickinglawyer
Bevor Sie zu YouTube weitergehen

@LockEx afaik his true identity is something of a closely guarded secret

@DotMaetrix @LockEx
But he does make the occasional appearance on other YouTube channels

My current theory is he's related the This Old Tony, however the similarities to JerryRigEverything are undeniable

Can THERMITE Actually Break a Lock? (w/ Lock Picking Lawyer)

@bornach @DotMaetrix @LockEx

I wonder if we could get him on something Dropout is doing.

We could talk Brendan into doing a D20 series. Would be hilarious to have one series where the player's faces never appear. D20: The Almost Podcast. That'd be _rad_

@DotMaetrix He is not as secretive in the locksport world, but his desire for privacy is respected. I still would love to see running cameos of LPL in tv and film like Hector.

@DotMaetrix @LockEx he's done one infosec con that I know of, @SAINTCON, a regional security conference in Provo, Utah. Say what you want about Utah (and there are many things you could say) but the people at saintcon are the absolute best. I remember LPL talking about the original pitch for him to come, something like:

LPL: Can you be reasonably sure people won't take photos & so on?
Troy: Reasonably, yes
LPL: How?
Troy: Ask nicely?

@DotMaetrix For some reason I heard this in the voice of the Mark 1 Emergency Medical Hologram.
@DotMaetrix I can't stop giggling.
@DotMaetrix “…and then I’m going to get the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made…”
@DotMaetrix Paging @charliejane ... I feel like you'd enjoy this.
@kuoirad @DotMaetrix @charliejane a few seconds later "in any case, that's all I have for you today"

@DotMaetrix "...now we close it again just to make sure it's not a fluke..." 🤣

Made my day!

@DotMaetrix Now we'll just get out this custom transdimensional biocoding tool that I designed with Dalek Bill...
@tuftyindigo @DotMaetrix ... And which you can get on spacetimeinstruments.com , but a normal picking set will do as well.
@DotMaetrix Type 40 TARDIS made by MasterLock?

@hrw

@DotMaetrix

Just needs a sonic wave rake then. Or a quick neutron bypass...

@hrw
The Master Lock is quite devious, but not present on the TARDIS (at least not on this one.)
@DotMaetrix
@DotMaetrix I forgot about Who and was initially imagining a normal medical doctor
@DotMaetrix this toot did spark a lot of joy.
Thank you.
@DotMaetrix @cstross
Click in one… nothing in two… reversed positron flow on three… Artron energy on four…

@DotMaetrix spouse thinks he has a voice that would be perfect for many audio books

I agree

It's like he's the Mr Rogers of lock picking

@DotMaetrix "I'll be using the sonic screwdriver that BosnianBill and I made..."
@DotMaetrix Now this, this is the kind of humor I can get behind.
@DotMaetrix the key is a McGuffin. The Tardis decides who it lets in.
@DotMaetrix
This seems like how the Doctor ends up with the Lock Picking Lawyer as a companion...

@DotMaetrix

"Folks, the Time Lords have known about these vulnerabilities for recursive millennia, but despite this, the problem still exists on time capsules being sold today. This might stop a Dalek's multi-plunger but will not stop an experienced picker."

@DotMaetrix @sentientdolphin I'm sure the Doctor is at least glad that the next words aren't, "It can be opened with a Type 40 Tardis" 
@DotMaetrix true, LPL is no Genghis Khan horde :)
@DotMaetrix
The TARDIS would either let him in immediately for the fun of it or continually change the pins on the fly just to mess with him.
@DotMaetrix McNallyOfficial's voice pipes up, "This is a Type-40 Tardis. We are going to open it with... A Type -40 Tardis."
