If it is a 5 pin lock with 5 steps in each pin there is only 3125
possible keys and some of those are not practical.
The cheaper the lock the better chance the "wrong" kery will still
work. I remember back in the 60s, if 10 people had a GM car key there
was more than a 50:50 chance at least one would start any GM car in
the lot.

Does that reflect on the tenants intelligence, or the government?

Workers have been dispatched to upgrade the gas stoves in 100,000 FEMA
trailers positioned along the Gulf Coast.

They have one job: To paint the gas knob red.

That's exactly right. Crews are visiting 100,000 trailers, scattered
over
all hell-and-gone, to daub red paint on the gas control.

"...workers in Mississippi have painted the knobs on about 85 percent
of the
30,000 to 40,000 trailers there. In Louisiana, around 20 percent of
the
knobs in 70,000 trailers have been painted red."

The original plan called for replacing the knobs. A federal
knob-census was
commissioned and FEMA found there were not enough red knobs in
inventories
to handle the job.

Story includes goodness picture of resulting knob:
