Even if you think he gets more hype then he deserves, this is pretty cool. It always pays to have a lock-pick set with you at all times...
Yeah, it pays in possible jail time:
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_picking
"In United States, laws concerning possession of lock picks vary from state to state. Generally, possession and use of lock picks is considered equivalent to the possession of a crowbar or other tool that may or may not be used in a burglary. Illegal possession of lock picks is generally prosecuted as a felony under the category of possession of burglary tools or similar statutes. In many states, simple possession is completely legal as their statutes require proof of intent. In some states, however, possession without appropriate licensure is considered prima facie evidence of intent to commit a crime (in California for example), rendering simple possession a crime"

I saw him give a speech a couple weeks ago along with some chief FBI cybercrime person and he pulled out that card during the speech to show off... Of course he said it was mainly a novelty thing and those particular picks were pretty much useless but I don't think there's much of a legal problem if he can pull it out in of a room full of FBI.
It's a business card. I hope you can't be jailed for possessing a business card.
(Yes, it's convenient that it's possible to turn the business card into other tools.)
