An Important Announcement from ITS Tactical. The purpose of this announcement today is to clear the air on not only what we stand for, but what ITS Tactical was created for. We’d like to ask that you please take a few minutes and watch the following video first before continuing… As the video mentions, we’ve been accused in the past of creating videos and content so that people can evade Law Enforcement. Our primary purpose behind these videos is to ensure people are not illegally detained by amateurs and Law Enforcement Officers are not using inferior products. Our Escaping Zip Tie videos, which you can review here again, not only shows the different methods of restraint, but notes the hand positions where people are most likely to escape from.

We firmly believe that plastic zip ties have NO business being used in a potentially dangerous situation where lives are on the line. So we’re stating the obvious, right?

How Lock Picking Works" Most people carry five to 10 keys with them whenever they go out. On your key ring you might have several keys for the house, one or two more for the car and a few for the office or a friend's house. Your key ring is a clear demonstration of just how ubiquitous lock technology is: You probably interact with locks dozens of times every week. The main reason we use locks everywhere is that they provide us with a sense of security. But in movies and on television, spies, detectives and burglars can open a lock very easily, sometimes using only a couple of paper clips. This is a sobering thought, to say the least: Is it really possible for someone to open a lock so easily? In this article, we'll look at the very real practice of lock picking, exploring the fascinating technology of locks and keys in the process. ­ Locksmiths define lock-picking as the manipulation of a lock's components to open a lock without a key.
