Liberty Safe gives passcode to federal authorities

[WhereIsIt?]

You should do marketing for Hyundai. Those cars that are so easy to steal because of the "feature" included with the automobile. Then maybe once people realize it's a feature and not a defect, then insurance rates will go down!

That's actually a lack of a feature. They never advertised " We dont include an engine immobilizer on this model. This is incase you ever can not afford to pay your note you can just park it in any major city."

If you read liberty's site it tells you the process of getting your safe open if you forgot your code. It's pretty obvious they have a master list.

Liberty built that feature into their product on purpose and it was used as intended, to bypass the main method of entry. Unless you are suggesting that Hyundai intended for their product to be easily stolen, you are making a false equivalence.

I would guess that Liberty used off the shelf locksets. I could be wrong. But if that were the case Sargent Greenleaf (or another supplier) would likely be responsible for that situation.

A feature would be included for my benefit.

An example of a flaw would be for someone else's benefit, against my will. I'm sure owners of Korean cars don't give consent for their cars to be stolen. Therefore it is an equivalent.

At the end of the day....I say "tomato." You say "tomahhhhhhhto."

I say "center"....You can't even spell it!

Have a good evening!

You can distort it however you'd like but that doesn't change the fact your opinion doesn't match reality. You not liking the feature does not make the feature a flaw. The backdoor is there for your benefit even if you don't use it or don't like it. If, for some reason, you are unable to get into the safe with your primary code, the backdoor could be used for you to gain access. I would believe most reasonable people would view having the ability to access their safe as a benefit.
