Explanation

A man trap (also called an airlock or access control vestibule) is the BEST physical control against tailgating. It creates a small buffer zone with two interlocking doors - only one can open at a time - ensuring only one authenticated person passes through per cycle. Security guards (A) can be bypassed or distracted. Proximity cards (C) and biometrics (D) authenticate individuals but do not physically prevent a second person from slipping through behind an authorized user.
