The Klom Navigator set is a very complete, durable and affordable set. For $32,49 (including shipping) you get everything you will ever need. The set can open padlocks, cylinder locks, wafer locks, car locks and a whole lot else :P

I take upon myself the responsibility to check whether the locks belongs to the person giving me permission to pick it and will take full and unconditional responsibility for my actions.

I've read a couple of articles on-line about "lock bumping". It was blood chilling to see how fast and easily a lock could be defeated.

This thread was parked for a short while for a Mod Team review. While we do not have an issue with the topic as information is readily available on the internet we do advise caution in observing your local laws including laws pertaining to carrying and use of these tools and techniques. Keep all posts on the legal side of this topic.

Lets not discus bumping here as it has nothing to do with lock picking but defeating the lock in a totally different way.
As said before, there are always easier ways to get into a place than picking a lock and this is the only reason I am comfortable talking about it.
As suggested above Medico locks are pretty resistant to bumping and other such attacks but no lock is 100% hack/crack proof.
Should you have concerns about your locks I can advice you to use better brand locks, maybe even European locks such as ABUS as they are cheap, very hard to pick and uncommon in the US (burglars won't expect there to be a euro lock on your door). Kwikset and Schlage are common locks in the US but for all people out there, they are not the best (I can get those open in under a minute). Do not use such deadbolts on your front door if you are truly concerned about your private security.
Don't panic if you do use these locks. Locks are still a perfect way to keep people out as very few posses the knowledge, practice, tools and patience to actually defeat a lock by using lock picks.
