Re: Smart Gun Hacked, Fires using Magnets

One thing about the article that found disconcerting (though unsurprising) was this quote:
And most disturbingly, he can mechanically disable the gun's locking mechanism by placing some cheap magnets alongside its barrel, firing the gun at will even when the watch is completely absent.
Personally, I find the ease of jamming the signal preventing it from being fired more disturbing than any trick allowing it to be fired without the watch.
