It is easy to yank a Kensington cable out of the slot

It is unbelievable how easy it is to just yank a Kensington security cable out of the "security" slot. This took all of 1.5 seconds! For such expensive devices, these things provide very little security.

Hello,

I was in the Apple store and I pulled the security cable of the iPhone 4 off and the security sound was on, what if you cut the cable does the sound noise will be on?

@sahab999 Not these.

What is the Laptop their - the lock cant be connected on to the frame of the laptop if it is that easy to pull out , also can you please do it again and repost as i cant tell the state of the lock after you pulled it out?

If you doubt it, look at the other YouTube videos showing other means, not even counting snipping the thin cable with a clipper.

I had a laptop lock, (I think it was a Kengsington...), and I had locked up my laptop one day and laid it down on the floor for a sec. I tried to step over it and accidentally stepped on the edge of the lock itself and the little bar that goes into the laptop actually snapped off. It didn't even damage my laptop, thankfully. I'm just glad that I found out that way, rather than finding out some other way...
