If you're gonna do something, do it right?  :)  What was the saying about
fast, cheap, or good--pick any two?

Turnstiles seem primitive, but I suppose it could work if you have
full-height ones.

My basic premise is that someone wouldn't be trying to gain access to
something they shouldn't if they didn't plan on doing something illegal
with the access anyway.  Barring amnesiacs, how many people just wander
into a facility for no reason?  So I'm going by the theory that a crime is
a crime is a crime, and there's no reason to illicitly access without
intent.  There could be rare exceptions, but by and large it should hold
fairly true.
