Now it’s just possible that the previous owners of Mar-a-Lago had already had a safe installed, so there’s the off-chance that entry wouldn’t necessarily be trivial.
This is getting real.

The wikipedia article casually mentions a SCIF.
Post died in 1973, which probably means that new safe cracking techniques have made any preexisting safe obsolete.

The FBI is pretty busy.
(excerpt) “They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish,” Perry said in the statement, first reported by Fox News.
He’s pissed that he wasn’t allowed the time to “lose” his phone.

why is she afraid of a AR-15? Shouldn’t we be desensitized to that sort of thing?

She’s very particular about the kind of glass, though.

Ugh, a few right-wing rags have latched on to the fact that the judge who signed off on the search warrant apparently had some kind of connection with Epstein and once donated to Democrats’ political campaigns.
I guarantee not one MAGA supporter will remember that the same could be said of Trump himself.

Look at how her lip is wobbling like she’s about to cry… WTF, lady?

Oh? Has Trump released the search warrant, or is he doing stochastic terrorism out the back door by just leaking the judge’s name?

Magistrate Bruce Reinhardt has been identified as the judge. His name has ripped through the right wing mediasphere like Donald Jr. through a line of Bolivian flake. The judge’s info has been removed from the US District of Florida web page, and he and his family are most likely under heavy security.
Edit: Not appointed by TFG, like I thought. Magistrates are appointed by other judges in the district apparently. I saw he started in 2018 and assumed he was appointed by TFG.

“… as a citizen of the United States, I wanna know why you’re doing this. I wanna know from the FBI whether or not this is legitimate.”
That’s all written down on the warrant, ma’am.

as seen on twitter: why do they care about the fbi “breaking in” at all?
he should just comply with their commands and unless he’s got something to hide, why even bother with a warrant?
next they’ll be asking for the cops to protect his head as he’s put in the back of a police car. /s
( wait. they do have a warrant and he does have something to hide? now it all makes sense… )

Cylinder key locks, as Lock-Picking Lawyer mentions, are notoriously easy to pick. A few years ago there was a bit of a media kerfuffle when it was discovered that Kryptonite locks with cylinder keys could be opened with a trimmed biro.
I say ‘discovered’ in fact it was a rediscovery. I oversaw some bike lock tests on Mountain Biking UK magazine in about 1993 and our lock-cracker knew about this vulnerability then.
That safe looks to have exactly the same flawed cylinder design as those locks.
The safe we have uses a flat key, and it looks like Amazon no longer uses cylinder keys on that model.
Picking and other ‘clever’ methods are all very well, but bike thieves (being the subset of thieves I’m familiar with) go for brute force and I expect anyone who didn’t care about a safe or whatever being usable afterwards would do so too. Plus, angle-grinders are fun!
