And yet it worked. The locks were there to detect tampering, not to present an impregnable barrier. Tamper detection is only a good strategy under an inspection regime. Once inspectors are pulled, and government is abolished, the bunkers must be immediately captured and guarded by people. No lock will keep people out if there aren't also human guards to detect lockpickers.
