Haha, that's a cute little lock. I suppose that could work in resident-entry-only buildings, but America can be pretty bad-ass: http://telzilla.com/wp-content

- nihonde 9y agoIt also works in a country where crime is basically negligible. It's amazing how many conveniences emerge from people behaving themselves.

This just to remind you that the US is huge, consists of 50 states and in most cases the states are very different from each others. I'm not even an american and I'm offended about the generalization.
- kalleboo 9y agoThe trick is that Japan has managed to have this security broadly across their whole society - from sleepy villages to inner cities to depopulating poverty-stricken towns that lost their industry.

- kalleboo 9y agoYeah you can get away with a lot less physical security in Japan. Around where I live bikes are just locked with ring locks that go through the spokes of the back wheel (in other countries that would get your bike lifted into the back of a truck in days). This also makes retail a lot nicer since you don't get those crazy un-openable blister packs you see in the west. Most packaging is just held together with a single piece of tape for easy opening. Amazon's "frustration-free packaging" is actually more difficult to open than most of the retail electronics packaging you have here.
