Many turnstiles can be jumped over. In this case it’s more about preventing theft and espionage.

I knew someone years and years ago who worked as an assistant to lawyers. The firm had a second office in the state capital, turns out someone was walking in and stealing laptops. I think they had done it three times the last I had heard.

Lawyer laptops going missing is a problem. I don’t know how they ended up fixing that.

It shouldn't be. If there was a particular profession that I would expect to properly secure their devices lawyers would be near the top of the list.
