Abloy type cylinders would discourage brute force lock picking attempts

Pretty reasonable stuff if the general lock/unlock can be accomplished remotely and not bin by bin. Otherwise, as for crew unlocking individual bins, it seems more feasible in Business class rather than Economy. I guess it'd be best to consult with the relevant Cabin Crew union for their thoughts on that.
