Has anyone ever noticed for instance though, when the "Detective" on TV
opens a door by picking the lock, he usually blocks what he's doing with
his hands or body..?   Or they'll show a fast shot of him sticking some
arcane "detective lockpick tools" into the lock and suddenly the door
opens...

They're showing THAT it can be done.. NOT  *how*  it can be done..
If a movie or TV show started showing detailed instructions on how to
pick locks, I think you'd hear quite a reaction, freedom of speech
nonwithstanding...
