This is an interesting, if not exactly new, article about lockpicking. I wonder if part two will go into the whitepaper released a few years ago which goes into explicit detail about how to perform a "rights amplification" within a master keyed system by cutting a series of keys closely matched to your suite key in order to create a copy of the master key. Clearly, the bump method is a quicker way to go, but you look like a hooligan trying to pick a lock. The "rights amplification" method will take up to a month of going home to cut new keys, then trying them at work the next day, but it's much more stealthy and ultimately provides a master key to your entire building! Here's a link to that whitepaper: http://www.crypto.com/papers/mk.pdf#search=%22rights%20amplification%20master%20key%22
