For Access Call, or Walk Right In
Courtesy of security rock star Rik Ferguson comes the below picture of a data room (server room) at the airport in Johannesburg (O.R. Tambo International Airport). Presumably the door sign should read “For Access Call…or Just Walk In”.
On a more serious note, in this age of discomfort surrounding airport security, why does Africa’s largest airport have a door sign viewable from a public area that clearly labels where to find sensitive equipment? Wait, why is the data room accessible from a public area at all? These are questions for airport officials I guess.
They have been notified.

Remember: self closing doors, man traps, “keep door closed” signs, and caning server administrators who leave doors open are effective deterrents for this kind of behavior.

Completely agree, I spied something like this at a train station on my way home from a security conference a while back, I would also suggest placement of your racks is a good deterent, yes they can be loud but it is far safer if they are in an internal staff room than in an external cleaning room.
