A mantrap is like a turnstyle that goes up to the ceiling, or something like an airlock. You can still tailgate someone through it and they might not say anything. Never let someone else in. Make them badge in or get security to help them even if you know them.
Good luck trying to get two people through most datacenter man traps. They weigh you and monitor whose in the trap. You can’t even sneak equipment out.

It’s a high security location. I’ve been to ones with blast resistant walls and windows in lobby.
This is good advice. You never know who might be a changeling infiltrator.
Or your coworker who got fired yesterday.
Make one with 4 90 degree sections that turns exactly twice per swipe. Anyone tailgating gets stuck in the side, and then the pitfall opens.
