Remember the old bicycle locks where there were maybe four or more dials that had to be lined up with just the right numbers in a row before you could remove one end of the cable from the locking mechanism to open the locking bike cable? Well someone’s put out a USB flash drive that looks much like the same thing; only instead of locking up your bike it locks up the information on your flash drive, should it fall into the wrong hands; and uses letters instead of numbers. (Oh, and no cable.)

Ladies and Gentlemen I Give You—The Crypteks
