How old is bumping technique, 2, 3, 5, 10 years?

I would say 30+, but if you mean how long it has been "public knowledge", I would say 5-10.

Wasnt bumping first mentioned somewhere in ther 1920's , it was brought to light in the 70's but was dismissed by many locksmiths as a fad

I have seen patents for bumping devices from the 1920's.
