Explanation
Turnstiles and mantraps are physical access control mechanisms designed to allow only one person through per authentication event, directly preventing tailgating. A mantrap is a small room with two interlocking doors - the first must close before the second opens - ensuring each person is individually verified. These physical controls have no effect on software-based threats like rootkits or viruses, and they do not address shoulder surfing (visual eavesdropping).
