You actually have to present your photo ID at the site entry gatehouse, then again to the building entry guard (who will also check you have a work permit and a site-specific safety induction) then you swipe a badge at a turnstile to get from reception into the stairwell, then swipe your badge at a door to get into the relevant floor, then swipe your badge and key in a code to enter the room with the cages then you use the key.

I guess it shows very few care enough to pay enough to make that a reasonable upgrade.
