Wouldn't some authentication system be more useful than trying to lock all the manholes? Picture a system maybe using RFID or some other radio system where you walk up to manhole, wave your 'wand' (like a Mobil Speedpass), you hear a couple beeps, and you're cleared to open the manhole. Without authenticating, you can still get in, but the NOCs at local utilities and telcos are notified, maybe police as well. If you can tie access to a particular person's ID, I doubt that person will misuse it.
Get the guy drunk on Friday night, pickpocket his ID, cut fiber.

A friend mentioned at dinner yesterday that he spotted several AT&T trucks next to manholes in the area affected by the fiber cut. They were busy welding the manhole covers to their rims. And now the security theater begins.
