these are jail cells, not doors.
- res0nat0r 13y agoThey are not jail cells. We had the same thing in restricted hallways when I worked my prior job in big pharma. They were used mainly to allow big hallway access and securely allow one person at a time through the door, with weight sensors at the bottom of the pod. You can override these doors most likely with an emergency button if needed.

- colinhowe 13y agoFrom what I've heard TSA agents don't think about the situation either
- rayiner 13y agoHave you never used an automatic double-door vestibule in a cold city?
- toomuchtodo 13y agoNot one that can lock on both sides at the same time.
- rayiner 13y agoThe whole principle behind such vestibules is that there is an instant when both doors are closed at the same time, which keeps the cold draft outside from getting inside.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoClosed, but not locked.
- rayiner 13y agoFor an automatic door, what's the difference?
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI can force it open? Even Equinix datacenter mantrap doors can be pushed open. Firecode trumps security. Unless you're the TSA, and then its security theater > common sense.
- tedunangst 13y agoWhat makes you think you can't push the airport doors open?
- tptacek 13y agoSimple: that premise isn't as fun to talk about on a message board, and so can't be true.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoYou honestly don't think the TSA wouldn't have the ability to "secure" you in this device until someone arrived on foot if they wanted to? I'm absolutely sure the TSA wouldn't abuse this device. At all.
- jacalata 13y agoI have, but as far as I can remember they all have small normal doors to the side - is that not the default setup?
- diminoten 13y agoHave you ever been in a jail cell before?
