A Look Back: Bump Keys

Bump Keys are "keys that are specially-crafted such that they can virtually open any lock" -- "all the cuts at or slightly below the deepest level for a key made by the manufacturer, and a small amount of material removed at the tip." Video after the jump.
By sharply striking the bump key, it is possible to apply an even impact to each pin column, which then separates as if struck using a pick gun. Bump keys will work in many locks that pick gun needles will not fit into

Why is it in "A look back"? Does this method not work anymore? Have modern locks been changed?

[...] Ein Artikel im TechEBlog hat mich letztens wirklich verblüfft: mit Hilfe sogenannter “Bump Keys” soll es möglich sein, beliebige Schlösser aufzusperren, die auf der Technik von Zylinderschlössern basieren.
