Security Door Blocks Heavy People
The new security entrance at Sweden's National Police headquarters has a built-in scale to ensure only one person enters at a time. However:
Those weighing more than 230 pounds (105 kilograms) who try to pass through the entrance are greeted by a recorded voice telling them: "Stop! One at a time!" and are not let through, police spokeswoman Linda Widmark said.
The scale is suppose to adjust to 350 pounds, but because of a construction error it isn't (yet?) set properly.
