In some states, merely having an *empty* more-or-less secret compartment in your car to hide your valuables in will get your assets forfeitured, and your butt thrown in jail.

What about Kali Linux, IDA Pro, Wireshark, etc., on your laptop?

Of course, that's more analogous to carrying a night vision camera or a UV flashlight than lockpicks & prybars.

Let's see how well this discussion goes over at the next DEFCON or Black Hat conference (where they have lockpicking seminars, as well as other stuff).
