I’d like to think that hand cuffs have a better lock than that. I could fabricate that key in under an hour with a file.

But could you do it with your hands behind your back?

No, they don’t have a better lock than that. I can “fabricate” a key for cuffs in about 2 seconds in the form of a hairpin… a paperclip is a little soft to be effective. Note: I have a hobby of picking locks; they are like puzzles you can’t see.

Since he seems to be in perfect health with no physically obvious signs of illness, you might be right!

Handcuff keys are simple & universal by design, so any LEO can unlock them.

You need to clean your hidden handcuff key every now and then.
