http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chink
(meaning 1 - "a crack, cleft, or fissure: a chink in a wall.")
Kink is practically synonymous in the context, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the world used in this article (just something wrong with the over-the-top racism filter on comments).
Chink is more appropriate to the armour metaphor.
