What is the probe for?

I understand a probe is used as a lockpicking device, but I already have a pick, how would a probe help out? What's the difference between the two in the game.

By the way the entire damn province is a bunch of thiefs, everywhere you go, people (or other intelligent life) have a pick or probe stashed away somewhere.

The probes are for disarming traps.

I see, I havent seen any traps around, what and where are they?

They're on chests, and doors. I've yet to encounter a trap that I wasn't told about in advance. If you don't have a probe, you'll always set off an indicated trap. It won't damage the object, but it will damage you.
