Okay, I know that Sneakers was not exactly a spot-on portrayal of hacking, but I found it to be a lot more plausable at least stylistically than that terrible movie "Hackers".
Of course, I'm sure that some of you will now chime in and proclaim "Hackers" to be one of the greatest movies of all time. You are entitled to your opinions, but you are also wrong. God, that movie had many elements this article/question was trying to dispel. Yick!
I've loosened both of the Leathermans I've owned, including a PST II and a Wave...it didn't involve actually unscrewing the pivot points, but just opening the pliar parts over and over and over.
I can now whip out the Wave pliars, or open either of the one-hand access knives instantly. Really quite slick. It scares people a lot.
