Key(s) to the City

Yikes. The New York Post reports that a retired New Jersey locksmith was selling what he calls a “firemen’s key ring” -- and "what a terrorist might call a dream come true" -- on eBay for a mere $150. (Naturally, The Post turned this into a "What if someone from Occupy Wall Street got their hands on them" story.)

The set consists of five keys that would allow control of virtually any elevator in the city, could knock out power to municipal buildings and skyscrapers, darken city streets, open subway gates and some firehouse doors and provide full access to 1 World Trade Center and other construction sites. 

“Think about the people at Occupy Wall Street who hate the NYPD, hate the establishment. They would love to have a set. Wouldn’t it be nice to walk in and disable Chase’s elevators?” said Former FDNY and NYPD Commissioner Howard Safir.

Although, The Post bought the advertised set -- most of which they tested and worked -- it is unclear how many duplicates were made. The story piqued my interest until I realized it did not contain one to Gramercy Park, one of the most coveted keys in the city.
