I have often heard the term "mantrap" applied to many kinds of access control points. Indeed, my own company has written reports in the past where we have designated certain choke points in a facility this way, but I no longer think this is the best language to use. Why, do you ask? I'll explain in this video, while offering some other possible words that you can use which might be better in certain contexts. Enjoy! 👍😁👍
