English term or phrase: waist-high locked gates
Si discute la poca sicurezza che una banca offre di per sé nel caso in cui le forze dell'ordine siano impegnate altrove:

"Even the most cursory examination of banks reveals that a majority of their so-called security features require the depolyment of police and/or outside security. With the police and all other special forces otherwise engaged during an outbreak, silent alarms, surveillance cameras and waist-high locked gates will be useless."
