I'm baffled. I've worked in multiple buildings with turnstiles. There's never been a line. They take about a second to scan. Is this just some horrible broken implementation?
I get why they're used. They protect randos from walking in and stealing stuff. It's not about "feeling" secure. When you have someone make off with 10 laptops, it's actual security. And that's before you start worrying about more serious threats that come from plugging in USB keys...
