And the key has no notches, and so inserting a screwdriver into the lock and turning works just as well as using the key.

That was reality in the eighties! You could open some cars using a popsicle stick as a key. Fun times!
One time after locking my keys in my '87 Toyota pickup, I just used a swiss army knife in desperation. Opened instantly
My dad used pliers to open the trunk! Even thought us how to do it so we could help him out.
Must have been a high trust society.
It was the reality with Kia a few years ago.
I think this is the best parable - a master key with no notches.
I'd refine this to, the cylinder for the lock did not care what key you put in, it woul open it anyways. So the key looks secure, but the lock is a joke.
You can use a lollipop to open it.
Except it's still not good enough, because you could use that key to eavesdrop nearly anything and anyone.
Hyundai & KIA did essentially that.
Weren't Mazda 626s notorious for this
4 notches
That's perilously close to a standard door key, and thats way too much security compared to these certs.
