? on crcular locks

With all the uproar on the Kryptonite locks - I have a question.
Is the problem confined to Kryptonite or is this a more general
problem that affects other circular locks as well? These types of
locks are used in lots of other applications and I am wondering if all
of these are at the same risk.

Bike locks need a bic pen, while the computer lock only needs a toilet
paper roll

If you read through the thread linked below, you'll find mention of a
variety of locks and discussion/links about some of the factors that
affect vulnerability (well, if you keep skimming- lots of other
discussions going on)
